MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE 
One ounce plants 100 feet 











Cutture: Melons thrive in rich light soil. Plant in hills 
4 to 6 feet each way in early May, placing a quantity of 
well-balanced fertilizer at each hill and 10 to 12 seeds in 
each one, thinning out to 3 plants to each hill when the 
plants are well established. Pinching off ends of vines when 
they are a foot long will increase production. For an early 
crop start seeds in small boxes in a hotbed.

Cutture: Parsley needs a mellow, rich soil and the 
| seed is slow to germinate. A good plan is to soak the seed 
| a few hours in warm water and then plant \% inch deep and 
thin plants to stand 8 to 10 inches apart. If the leaves of 
curly varieties are all cut off when they are 3 inches tall, 
growth will be better. Liberal cutting of 
Parsley improves qualitv. For winter use 
move plants to a coldframe or light cellar, or 
a supply can be potted in 6-inch flower-pots 
and grown in a kitchen window.
