How to Plant Muskmelons: 
Muskmelons like a warm season and 
warm, rich, sandy soil. Plant in hills, 
6 or 8 ft. apart, using about a dozen 
seeds to the hill. Plant about corn 
planting time. Keep weed-free and 
watch for bugs. An ounce of seed is 
enough for about 100 hills. For home 
use don't pick until the stems lets 
go easily when you turn the melon 
over. We are proud of our Musk- 
melons. All the seed comes from 
fields grown for seed purposes only; 
that means you get the best!

- Choice, Juicy 
Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh, sweet, 
ripe watermelon? And they always 
taste better if they are from your 
own patch. Even back-yard and city 
gardeners can have a few hills of 
melons. Anyone can raise them. Mel- 
ons like warm rich sandy soil. Large 
ones should be planted (six or eight 
seeds to the hill) 10 ft. apart each 
way. Midget and Sugar Lump types, 
6 ft. apart. Do not plant until frost 
danger is past. Dust with Gurney’s 
Bug Dust to control beetles. One 
ounce seed will plant 50 hills; three 
pounds to the acre. Our favorites are 
Midget, Dixie Queen Hybrid and Su- 
gar Lumps, but we like them all.

take a pan of home-grown 
peanuts, put them in the 
oven for about 30 minutes 
and eat while they are still 
hot. Good! Of course they 
are, and that is a wonder-
