CANTALOUPE 
1 oz. for 50 hills; 3 Ibs. per acre 
The most suitable soil for melons is a warm, sandy 
loam, well worked and enriched with rotted manure. 
After danger from frost is over, sow ten to twelve seeds 
to a hill, about 2 inches deep; the hills being six feet 
apart each way. When the plants have the second pair 
of leaves and danger from insects is past, thin out to 
four plants to a hill. Many large growers produce potted 
plants in hotbeds, thereby assuring an earlier crop to 
set out in May or earlier under Hotkaps. Cultivate fre- 
quently, deeply away from the plants and shallow close 
to them, When hoeing, remove the crust from around the 
plants and replace with fine, loose soil.
