MUSKMELONS 
We're proud of our muskmelon seed. We don't believe there are 
any other seedsmen in the country who have spent as much time 
fussing with the growers, inspecting crops and worrying about 
melon seeds. Every variety is grown by a specialist in an isolated 
place where it doesn’t get a chance to mix with anything else. Plant 
them after the ground is warm. Figure about three dozen hills from 
one packet of seed or 100 hills from an ounce. Give them plenty of 
room, at least 6 to 8 ft. each way. \
