PRACTICAL GARDENING 



The varieties generally recommended for 

 the home gardens are Emerald Gem (salmon- 

 flesh). Miller's Cream (orange flesh), and 

 Rocky Ford (orange silver flesh) . 



Citron. The citron is grown by the same 

 methods as the watermelon. It requires the 

 same culture, season, and temperature. The 

 only marked difi'erence is that it will grow in 

 more varied soils than the watermelon and 

 does not take quite so long to mature. It is 

 used only for making preserves, sweet pickles, 

 and jelly. It is not a common plant in small 

 g&rdens.
