CULTURE—Muskmelons require warm, rich soil, 
slightly sandy. Plant when all danger of frost is 
past, in hills 6 feet apart each way, 8 to 10 seeds 
to a hill. After danger of insects is past, thin out 
to 3 to 4 plants to a hill. Muskmelons should be 
left to ripen on the vine, until they come off easily 
when given a slight pull or twist.
