 strong shoots and thin out the young fruit if it sets too plentifully, so as to increase the siz« 

 of the remainder.

er Pineapple— As its name suggests, the Melon has a rich aromatic pineapple 

 ivor. The Melons do not ripen on the vines like other sorts, but have to be 

 eked before hard frost sets in, and laid away in a cool, dry cellar, where they 

 11 keep sound and sweet for months, and when wanted for use have to be taken 

 to a warm room where ihey will ripen in a few days. In this way a supply of 

 licious Melons can be obtained all winter. They are as hardy as any Musk- 

 slon and very prolific. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz 15
