Sgil—Finely prepared loam is best for indoor start- 
ing. The garden soil should be generously manured 
and preferably light. 
Planting—Melons should be grown in hills about 4 
eet apart each way. Plant 5 to 10 seeds in each hill 
and cover with not over 1/2 inch of soil. When the 
plants are well started thin out so that the strongest 
3 or 4 remain in each hill. 
One ounce of seed will plant 60 hills.
