Rockmelon Hales Best

A high quality mildew-resistant variety suited to the warmer
districts which have a long frost-free growing period.
Choose a site in an open, warm and sunny position and
prepare soil by digging compost and animal manure into 1
metre squares to form hills 1 metre apart. Apply a dressing of
general purpose fertilizer at a rate of 20 grams per hill and sow
4 seeds to each hill.
Apply plenty of water during the growing season by irrigation
rather than over the foliage because overhead watering tends
to onset Powdery Mildew particularly toward the end of the
growing season.
