Muskmelon, Hale’s Best. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts. 
MUSKMELON 
or Cantaloupe 
Sow the seed after the soil has warmed up in hills 5 to 6 feet 
apart, digging the soil to a depth of a foot and mixing in plenty of 
manure or fertilizer with the bottom soil. No more than 3 or 4 
strong plants should be left in each hill. Since Muskmelons re- 
quire a long growing season, it is a good plan to start the seed in a 
hotbed or box indoors, using dirt bands or pots, and setting them 
in the garden after the soil has become warm. 
An ounce of seed will plant about 50 hills; 
2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre
