to stand 6 to 8 inches apart. For plants to force in hotbeds from November until spring, sow seed

MUSKMELON. 
Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until the ground has become warm and dry. The 
hills should be about 6 feet apart, and carefully prepared. Rich earth is far better for the young 
plants than manure; but if the latter must be used see that it is well rotted. Plant from six to twelve 
seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin 
them, leaving three of the strongest in each hill. One oz. to 50 hills; 1 to 2 pounds per acre.
