’ SOIL 
The ideal soil for cantaloupes is sandy or sandy loam, with a 
high organic content and neutral or slightly alkaline nature, 
s f Heavier soils are also satisfactory. Unfavorable types include 
l muck, peat, heavy clay, and lands with high acid or alkaline 
content. Freedom from nematodes and fungus parasites is also 
essential. These faults may cause crop failure or one that is 
unsalable, Sandier soils permit earlier planting. And remember 
that Cantaloupes produce in direct proportion to soil fertility.
