BUNTON’S SEEDS For Better Gardens 
LEADING VARIETIES 
CANTALOUPE OR MUSKMELON 
1 Oz. of Seed for 50 Hills: 2 Lbs. to the Acre. 
CULTURE—For early melons, seeds can be planted in paper pots and set in cold frames. 
transplant to the open ground in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. 
After the danger of frost, 
If possible, use well rotted manure in each hill. If 
seeds are planted in open ground, plant about 10 seeds in different parts of the hill, just under the surface of the soil. 
When plants are well up, thin out to 3 or 4 to the hill. Rotenone is a very effective remedy against enemies of the 
Cantaloupe crop.
