MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE 
CULTURE.—Melons grow best in a light, warm, well-enriched 
soil and require a long growing season. Plant outdoors as soon as 
the weather and soil are warm, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart, mixing 
plenty of manure, to the depth of a foot, with the soil of the hills; 
3 or 4 strong plants are enough to be left in each hill.
