MUSKMELON 
A light, warm, rich soil is essential for this crop. When 
all danger from frost is over, plant the seed in slightly 
raised hills 4 feet apart each way, placing 6 to 8 seeds 
in each hill in a circle and covering with one inch of 
fine soil. Place a shovelful of old manure about 6 inches 
under each hill and tamp down firmly. Have the soil 
moist before planting so that no watering is required 
until the seeds have sprouted, otherwise they are apt to 
rot. After plants are well established, thin out to 3 
plants to a hill; when about 1 foot long pinch off the 
tips to make them branch. This strengthens the growth 
of the vines and makes the fruit mature early. Musk- 
melons mature in 120 to 140 days. One ounce will plant 
about 50 hills.
