MUSKMELON 
CULTURE. Muskmelons do best on moderately rich 
light, warm mellow loam. Do not plant until the ground 
has warmed EnoTcuphiy: as they will start quicker and 
withstand the attacks of insects so much better. 
Plant in hills 5 or 6 feet apart both ways. Mix in the 
hill before planting, one large cupful of commercial fer- 
tilizer. Plant 1 inch deep, 10 to 15 seeds to the hill. 
When plants are 3 inches high, thin to 4 or 6 in a hill, 
leaving the best plants.
