CULTURE 



SWEET HEART

 with an abundance of well-rotted manure, which 

 should be thoroughly mixed with the soil, for if left 

 in a mass it will lead to the plants burning out under 

 the hot sun, and thus to the failure of the crop. In

Your seeds are the best, for I never fail to get good results 

 from them. I hope every reader of your Catalogue will try 

 the Monte Cristo — The King of all Melons — as I have tried 

 them and think they are the best melon in the w-orld.
