Culture—Plant late in April or May after 
danger of frost is past. The soil should be a 
light, rich loam, moderately dry, with perfect 
drainage, as cantaloupes cannot be grown to 
perfection under unfavorable conditions. Pre- 
pare the hills 4 to 6 feet apart, working thor- 
oughly in each hill about 4 lb. of D. & B.'s 
Vine and Vegetable Fertilizer or a liberal sup- 
ply of stable manure. Plant about 10 seeds 
around in the hill, covering about 1 inch, and 
when about 2 inches hign, pull out to 4 plants. 
One ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills; 
2 lbs. for an acre. If troubled with insects, 
apply Slug Shot.
