MUSKMELON 
CULTURE. Muskmelons do best on moderately rich, light, 
warm mellow loam. Do not plant until the ground has 
warmed thoroughly, as they will start quicker and with- 
stand the attacks of insects so much better. Plant in hills 
5 or 6 feet apart both ways. Mix in the hill before planting, 
one large cupful of commercial fertilizer. Plant 1 inch 
deep, 10 to 15 seeds to the hill. When plants are 3 inches 
high, thin to 4 or 5 in a hill.
