BOLGIANO & CO., INC., Washington, D. C. MUSKMELON, or CANTALOUPE One Ounce Will Plant 50 Hills; 2 or 3 Pounds in Hill per Acre. CULTURE. Melons thrive best in a rich, light soil. Plant early in May, when the ground has become warm and dry, in hills six feet apart each way for musk- melons, eight feet for water- melons. Previous to sowing the seed, mix a few shovel- fuls of well-rotted 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 When about one foot long, pinch off the tips to make them branch as it strength- ens the growth of the vines and makes the fruit mature earlier. Give plenty of water and feed liquid ma- nure 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.
