Commercial growers start the seed 
in hotbeds, in paper pots, or dirt- 
pands and later transplant to the 
field. Earlier planting can be accom- 
plished by use of Hotkaps (see page 
70). For fungous diseases in gen- 
eral, spray frequently with Fermate 
(see Insecticide page). One ounce 
will sow 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds, an 
acre. 
Culture: Prefer rich, sandy soil and 
pian of sunshine. When the ground 
as become thoroughly warm, spade 
in well-rotted manure about foot 
ye at the rate of a shovelful for 
each hill. Drop 8 to 10 seeds in slight- 
ly raised hills 4 to 6 feet apart each 
way, covering with % to 1 inch of fine 
soil. When plants have produced their 
rough leaves, thin to the 3 or 4 strong- 
est in each hill. - Practice frequent 
shallow cultivation until vines cover 
ground.

m 113 95 days. We predict this new variety will achieve 
great popularity. The medium-sized (6 by 5 inches) 
oval shaped fruits are finely netted, which in itself 
gives them a handsome appearance, but when they are 
halved and disclose their beautiful salmon-colored 
flesh, their appeal is irresistible. The flesh is thick, of 
a fine custard-like texture, and the triangular seed- 
cavity is the smallest found in melons of this type
