CULTUEE—Muskmelons or cantaloupe require warm, rich soil, slightly sandy. 
Plant when all danger of frost is past, in hills 6 feet apart each way, 8 to 10 seeds 
to a hill. Well-rotted manure carefully worked into the soil is beneficial. After 
danger of insects is past, thin out to 3 or 4 plants to a hill. Cultivate until vines 
cover the ground, and pinch off the ends of the vines. Give them plenty of moisture.
