from Asia Minor — these melons are of inicottitnon 

 ridiness, green fleshed, and often attain tlie length 

 of 18 to 24 inches. Also, seeds of the fine Per- 

 sian melon, introduced into New Jersey by Joseph 

 Bonaparte, — and seeds of the small Tunis On- 

 ion. 



From Mr Samoel Walker, of Roxbiny, seeds 

 of a singular variety of Spinach, which attains the 

 height of three feet, the origin of which is un-

 sort considered ei|ual to any cultivated. 



Members who were not present at the meeting 

 can be su[iplied with these seeds, by calling at the 

 office of the New England Farmer. 



We should have mentioned some time since the 

 receipt of a large variety of scions, from Mr N 

 Davenport, of Milton, which are pretty much all 

 distributed among the members. 



Votes of thanks, were passed to the above gen- 

 tlemen, as well as to Mr Robert Manning, for his
