Hou toGrou
MUSK M ELONS

A sandy loan with plenty of we'll
rotted manure Incorporated in the
soil is we'll adapted TO the produc-
ton ot muskmelons. The musk
melon is a heatloving crop, requir-
ing a long growing season, about
four months, and cannot be planted
until the ground has become warm.
For this reason it is useless to at
tempt to grow the muskmelon in
sections where the growing season
is not sufficiently long or where the
temperature is not uniformly high.
The northern portion of the United
States is not suited to the growing
of this crop for the reason cited
above.
1t is advisable TO start the plants
in berry boxes, or on sods in the hot
bed, transferring these to the open
ground after the ground has become
warm. In this way considerable time
can be saved and much better re-
suits obtained. 1t is a good plan 20
place plenty Of well-rotted manure
IN the hills, which should be about
feet apart. Sufficient seed should
be planted so that four good strong
plants may be had in each hill. Al
other plan is to SOW in drills in rows
or feet apart, thinning the
plants until they are from I s inches
to ? feet apart in the rows.
Cultivation should be frequent and
thorough until the vines begin %
run. After this the cnly cultivation
required is TO keep weeds down.
Muskmelons are liable to be at
tackled by several diseases and have
at least one serious insect enemy.
For information on the control of
insects and diseases affecting the
muskmelon refer to Farmers Bulle-
tin $50, entitled Control of Dis
eases AMI Insect Enemies OF the
Home Vegetable Garden" u. s.
