GRAND RAPIDS. — This variety originated at 

 Grand Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for ship-

 loose-headed lettuce for forcing under glass. Leaves 

 medium size, of light, yellowish green color, much crimped 

 and frilled, thin, but of very upright growth; crisp, tender 

 and of good quality. Owing to its upright habit it may 

 be planted very closely. It is of extremely rapid growth; 

 very little liable to rot; will stand without spoiling a week 

 to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains its freshness a 

 long time after cutting.

MELON CANTELOUPE. 



German, Mclone. 



(One ounce of seed to 50 hills.) 



Sow about the last of spring or first of summer, in hills 

 of light, rich, sandy soil, four feet apart, allowing but 

 three plants to grow in each hill; after they have grown 

 about a foot long, pinch off the points of shoots, which 

 causes the vines not only to become stronger, but makes 

 them produce lateral branches and prove more produc- 

 tive and mature earlier. It should not be grown near 

 Squashes, Cucumbers or Pumpkins, as the flavor will be 

 affected in consequence.
