MUSKMELONS (CANTALOUPES) 
CULTURE. A rich sandy loam is preferable for muskmelons. Sow 10 to 12 seeds in a hill, 
the hills six to eight feet apart each way. Cover seeds with an inch of soil well firmed down. 
Thin the plants when they begin to crowd, leaving four of the best plants in each hill. Fre- 
quent but shallow cultivation until the runners interfere is necessary.
