Liefgreen’s Melons for Best Results ! 
CANTALOUPES 
CULTURE—Thoroughly soak the soil. When 
dry enough, plow 10 or 12 inches deep. 
After pulverizing the soil make furrows 8 or 
10 inches deep. Plant the seed in furrows 
6 feet apart each way, using 8 or 10 seeds 
to a hill, which will require 2 pounds to 
the acre. When paper covers are used, 
planting in the Salt River Valley generally 
starts in February and March. If covers are 
not used, plant after danger of frost is over. 
As the plants grow, gather the soil around 
them until the roots are 10 or 12 inches be- 
low the surface. Thin out surplus plants as 
soon as they are hardy and well estab- 
lished. Please remember that the roots are 
as long as the vine, therefore when work- 
ing close to the vines let the cultivation be 
shallow. Always cultivate the irrigating 
furrow when dry enough so as to conserve 
_ the moisture.
