MUSKMELONS "e0tses 
Plant Muskmelon seed in a warm, sunny spot after all danger of frost is past, in rich, 
sandy loam if possible, in hills 6 feet apart each way, placing 6 to 8 seeds in a hill and 
covering with about an inch of fine soil firmly pressed down; thin out to 4 plants to the hill. 
Cultivate frequently. When vines are 12 to 18 inches long, pinch tips to make them branch, 
and spray frequently with Cuke and Melon Dust for striped beetle. Grown the same as 
Cucumbers, see page 12 for cultural directions. 
Cover the hills when the seed is planted or the young plants, if you transplant them from 
Sake with Hotkaps. It will make earlier fruit and save the plants from bugs, hail, frost, 
rabbits.
