-MUSKMELONS 
Plant when all danger of frost is over, in warm, sunny spot. Place 6 to 8 seeds 
‘Sith in slightly raised hills and cover with an inch of fine soil. A shovelful of well- 
_ rotted manure under each hill will promote good growth. When plants are 
well established, thin to the three strongest plants per hill, and pinch off the 
tips when about a foot long to make them branch out. This will make fruit 
mature earlier. Soil should be well soaked before planting seed so that no 
further moisture will be needed until seeds germinate, to prevent seed rotting. 
Prices on all varieties: Pkt. 10c, 1 oz. 25c, 4 Ib. 75c, 1 Ib. $2.50
