How to Grow Cantaloupes 
The most suitable soil is a rich, warm, sandy loam. Sow 
the seed after the ground has warmed up, putting 8 to 10 
seeds in groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. between the seeds and 
cover with 1 in. of fine soil. The groups should be spaced 
4 to 6 ft. apart each way. Thin to 2 or 3 plants toa group 
after the plants are well established. Well-rotted manure 
dug into the soil where seeds are to be planted and side 
dressings of commercial fertilizer after the plants have be- 
gun to grow are usually beneficial. A pkt. will plant 12 
groups, 1 oz. 50 groups or so-called ‘‘hills’’—a term that 
is misleading to many gardeners. 
Burpee’s Netted Gem

Ford, Colorado, under the name of Rocky Ford, is

netting which is lace-like in appearance. The skin is
