CASABA MELONS 
The melons should not be picked until they become 
quite yellow. Stow away _so they do not touch each other, 
in a cool, dark place. When the rind becomes slightly 
softened and moist they are ready to eat; some of the 
melons will keep until February. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY—This melon is very similar to Win- 
ter Pineapple except that it has a golden yellow rind.

MUSKMELON 
A light, warm, rich soil is essential for this crop. 
When all danger from frost is over, plant the seed in 
slightly raised hills 4 feet apart each way, placing 6 to 
8 seeds in each hill in a circle and covering with one 
inch of fine soil. Place a shovelful of old manure about 
6 inches under each hill and tamp down firmly. Have the 
soil moist before planting so that no watering is re- 
quired until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they are 
apt to rot. After all danger of destruction by bugs is 
over, thin out to 3 plants to a hill; when about 1 foot 
long pinch off the tips to make them branch. This 
strengthens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit 
mature early. Muskmelons mature in 120 to 140 days. 
One ounce will plant about 50 hills.

WATERMELONS 
The culture of watermelons differs from that of musk- 
melons mainly in that the hills should be wider apart, 
from 8 to 10 feet, according to the variety grown. An 
effort should be made to secure good strong vines early 
in the season, and this can best be done by taking care 
that the hills are large, mellow, and well drained, with 
the manure placed so that they will not dry out quickly 
under hot sun. Plant the seeds thickly when danger of 
frost is over and thin the plants to four of the strongest 
in each hill. All possible protection from insects should 
be given the young plants and their growth may be still 
further hastened by frequent application of liquid man- 
ure, They mature in 120 to 140 days. As a protection from 
insects, netting is frequently used. One ounce will plant 
about 25 hills.
