MUSKMELONS.
(9Jlu§cat gjMonert.)
Muskmelon seed should not be planted outdoors until all danger from frost is over, and the ground has become warm and dry. The hills
should be about 6 feet apart, and carefully prepared. Rich earth is far better for the young plants than manure ; but if the latter must be
used, see that it is well rotted. Plant from 6 to 12 seeds in a hill, and when the young seedlings are strong enough to resist the attacks of
insects, thin them, leaving 3 of the strongest in each hill. The vines should have clean cultivation until they cover the ground, and if they
grow too rank, the tips of the shoots should be pinched off, causing them to set more fruits and develop them to finer size. An ounce of
see4' will plant about 100 hills.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
