Is one of the most nutri- 

 tious and valuable of our 

 garden vegetables. The summer varieties 

 come to the table early in the season, while 

 tlie winter .sorts can'be had in perfection 

 from August until the summer sorts are 

 again in condition. Plants are tender and 

 sensitive to cold, and planting must be de- 

 layed until settled warm weather. Gen- 

 eral principles of culture are the same as 

 those given for cucumbers and melons, but 

 the plants are less particular as to soil. The 

 summer varieties should be planted fonr to 

 six feet apart each wav, and the winter 

 sons eight to ten; three plants are safla- 

 cient for a hill.
