Melon Almizcleno, Sp. size, salmon fltsh, Oval shape, slightly One ounce will plant about 50 hills; 2 to 3 lbs. in hills per acre. CULTURE.âMelons thrive best in a light, rich soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has become warm ^nd dry, in hills 6 ftet ap;irt each way for Mu«kmelons, 8 feet for Watermelons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovelfuls of well-rotled manure in each hill, and plant in each 12 to 15 seeds; after all danger of the bugs is over, thin out to three plants per hill. When aiiout 1 foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch, as it strengthens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give jilenty of water, and feed liquid manure occasionally. A few hills for early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod in a hotbed, and when warm enough transplant to open ground. Green Citron.
