MUSKMELONS 
Muskmelons succeed best in light, rich soil, preferably sod-soil. 
They should be planted in well-enriched hills from 4 to 6 feet apart. 
For very early melons, start seed in pots and plant outdoors when 
weather is settled, about May 20. For main crop, plant outside middle 
of May, six to eight seeds in each hill. Leave four of the strongest 
plants to grow. 
One ounce is sufficient for 50 hills.
