soon Let'ore ami not too late after tht 



gardeners never leave a 



Melon to ripen on the plant. 



There is no doubt that in 



this country Melons arc left 



too long on the vines after 



being ripe, and hence their 



occasional bad flavour. In 



fruit -shops, too, they are 



exposed in windows, and 



their flavour is destroyed in 



a short time. The Cantaloup 



Prescott is a fine Melon when 



well grown and gathered at 



tlic proper time. It is re- 



nijirkably refreshing without being too sweet and sickly, as 



some of the varieties in this country are.
