MUSKMELONS or CANTALOUPES 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to about 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds in hills to an acre 
CuLture. Melons do best in a light or sandy soil, but with a little 
labor In preparing hills they can be grown in almost any warm, sunny 
location. Make hills 5 feet apart each way, putting two or three shovelfuls 
of well-rotted manure in each hill; pack it down tight, cover it with 3 
inches of fine, loose soil, making hills 1 foot in diameter. When the 
weather Is quite warm, scatter 10 to 15 seeds thinly over the surface of the 
freshly made hills and cover with \% inch of fine soil. When the young 
plants are well established, thin out to the best three plants. For early 
use, sow in hotbed, on piece of sod or in pots. Soil B. Vitamins AaB» GUG:
