Mushmelens — Qresh prom the Vine! 
One ounce will plant 60 hills. 
Two to three pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—Muskmelons 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 care- 
fully 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.
