Melon culture: A rich, warm, sandy soil is the ideal for raising melons; they - 
_ respond well to fertilizer. Sow the seed when the ground has become warm, 
placing 6 to 8 seeds in slightly raised hills. Muskmelons should be planted in 
hills 4 to 6 ft. apart, and thinned to 4 plants per hill. Watermelon hills should 
be 8 ft. apart, and thinned to 2 or 3 plants per hill. Cover the seed 1 in. deep. 
Muskmelon packets plant 15 hills, ounces 60 hills; watermelon packets plant 
10 hills, ounces 30 hills. Keep up cultivation as long as possible. Largest water- 
melons can be raised by permitting only one or two fruits to ripen on each vine,
