One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 or 3 pounds in hills per acre. 
When and How to Plant Melons thrive best in rich, light soil. Plant early in May, when 
the ground has become warm and dry, in hills six feet apart each way. Previous to sowing the 
seed, mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotted manure in each hill, and plant in each 12 to 15 seeds; 
after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. When about one foot long, 
pinch off the tips to make them branch as it strerigthens the growth of the vines and makes the 
fruit mature earlier. Give plenty of water and fe 
can be made with the use of Hotkaps. See page
