COLORADO GROWN SEED 
(Melones) 
Culture: A rich, deep, sandy loam, well worked and highly manured, is of first impor- 
tance. Plant when all danger of frost is over, in hills five to six feet apart each way; scatter 
about a dozen seeds to a hill, and after they are out of danger from bugs, thin to three or 
four plants. When they have four or five rough leaves, pinch off the end of the main shoot, 
which will cause the lateral branches to put forth sooner. This will strengthen the growth 
of the vines and fruit will come earlier to maturity. One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds 
plant one acre.
