CLIMATE 
A true sun lover, the cantaloupe is very susceptible to frost. 
Hot caps provide initial protection, but without these the en- 
tire season must be free from frost. Low humidity and lots of 
sun are ideal growth conditions, and they retard development 
of fungus diseases which destroy the leaves. Plants thus at- 
tacked produce culls and inferior development and quality.
