Melons should be planted on a rather light, rich, sandy loam. The middle of May is early enough for planting in open ground. Make hills about 6 feet apart each way, and put in each a good shovelful of well-composted manure; press it down, and cover with earth. Upon each hill plant six to twelve seeds about half an inch deep. When up, and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. Cultivate until the vines cover the ground, and pinch the ends off the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. Ashes, lime, tobacco dust, or even dry road dust, is excellent to sift over the young plants when the dew is on, to prevent the attacks of insects. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing in hot-bed on pieces of sod or in pots. The seed may also be started out of doors under hand-frames or glasses. The Emerald Gem Melon.
