Muskmelon or Cantaloupe 
(Popone, Melon, Melone) 
CULTURE—One ounce of seed is sufficient for 50 hills; 
2 pounds per acre. Plant in May and June. Melons do best 
in sandy soil or sod land; the ground should be made rich. 
The hills should be 4 to 6 feet apart with 10 to 12 seeds in 
each hill. Put the seeds an inch deep and when danger of 
frost is over, thin to four good plants to a hill. Cultivation 
should be kept up as long as possible.
