Seed Book 1928 Of Knoxs Quality Seeds PDF Download

Excerpt from 1928 Seed Book: Seeds, Poultry Supplies, Bird Cages, Garden Tools, Etc Cantaloupes or muskmelons are a long season crop requiring for their best development a sandy soil which quickly warms up, a season of 90 to 100 days growing weather, hot sun and ample irrigation. Though these conditions are best found in irrigated sections of the West, there is practically no region in the United States in which some variety cannot be successfully grown. Culture - Muskmelons delight in moderately rich, warm, mellow loam. The seed should be planted in the spring upon the arrival of settled warm weather. Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills, 4 to 6 feet apart each way, and as soon as the plants begin to run, remove all but four of the most likely ones. Spray often with Arsenate of Lead.
