MELONS 
All melons do best on rather sandy loam and the same ground should not be used 
two years in succession. Plant after danger of frost or protect with Hotkaps. Ten 
seed to a hill, the hills spaced 5 by 5 feet is about right, but thin to one or two 
plants per hill after the plants are well established. Plow deep and cultivate shallow 
but often. Regular watering at two week intervals to the end of the season is de- 
sirable. One ounce for 50 hills. Ripening in 80 to 100 days.
