CANTALOUPE, ROCKY FORD 
Cantaloupe 
For maximum production a warm, well drained soil is desired. 
Plant seed in the early summer in hills five feet apart each way. 
Plant eight to ten seeds per hill about one inch deep; thin the 
plants later to four or five per hill. A little fertilizer placed in each 
hill at planting time and mixed lightly with the soil will increase 
the yield and quality. 
Insects are not as much of a problem on cantaloupe as on some 
other cucurbits, but dusting with Rotenone or other recommend- 
ed insecticides is advisable.
