MUSKMELON. 
Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until the ground has become warm and dry. The 
hills should be about 6 feet apart, and carefully prepared. Rich earth is far better for the young 
plants than manure; but if the latter must be used see that it is well rotted. Plant from six to twelve 
seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of insects, thin 
them, leaving three of the strongest in each hill. One oz. to 50 hills: 1 to 2 pounds per acre.
