MUSKMELON 
CULTURE. Muskmelons do best on moderately rich, 
light, warm mellow loam. Do not plant until the ground 
has warmed thoroughly, 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 5 in a hill, 
leaving the best plants. 
‘The melons best suited for market are indicated by a 
star (*) after the name of the variety.
