Culture—Plant from April to June after 
warm weather has become settled, as melon 
vines are rather delicate until they get a good 
_ start and do not thrive well if checked by cold 
and wet weather. Plant in well fertilized hills 
8 feet apart, 8 or 10 seeds to the hill, covering 
about 1 inch. After they get a good start, 
thin to 3 or 4 plants. New ground or a broom 
straw field is an excellent place in which to 
grow melons, as they thrive best in light, 
sandy soil. One ounce will plant about 25 or 
30 hills; about 2 lbs. are required for an acre.
