Hardcover, with dust jacket, 126 [2] pages, 5x7.5 in, [13x19 cm], B&W photographs.

Issued as part of the publisher’s Farm and Garden series, this manual offers an overview of commercial muskmelon cultivation, with particular emphasis on market gardening practices in the United States. Topics addressed include soil preparation, varietal selection, planting methods, pest control, harvesting, and marketing, largely within the context of warmer growing zones. While not tailored to the conditions of the Canadian Prairies or the U.S. Great Plains, the volume may nevertheless be of interest to Prairie growers seeking comparative methods or broader insights into melon production under differing climatic conditions.
