CANTALOUPE for luscious Eating , 
One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 or 3 pounds in hills per 
How and When to Plant acre. Melons thrive best in rich, Mght soil. Plant early in 
May, when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills six feet q@part each way. ant 
12 to 15 seeds in each hill after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. 
When about one foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch as it strengthens the growth 
of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. 
Give plenty of water. Early plantings can 
be made with the use of Hotkaps. For best results mix a level tablespoonful of Vigoro Fer- 
tilizer in the hill before planting the seed.
