MUSK MELON. (Zucker Melone.) 



Cultivate about as recommended for cucumbers, except that the hills 

 should be six feet apart, but avoid planting near those plants, as they 

 will mix with and injure the quality of the melons; this and heavy 

 rains at the time of ripening will destroy the flavor of the finest stock. 

 Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure, but if the 

 latter must be used see that it is well rotted. If the plants grow very 

 rank more and finer fruit will be secured by pinching off the ends of 

 the shoots when about three feet long.

The Banquet (Henderson.) -jThis superb melon repre- 

 sents years of careful selection and improvement of a stock 

 of musk melon, at the hands of the largest and most ex- 

 perienced grower of melons in the world. The raiser regards it 

 as his greatest production, and likely to supercede all other 

 red-fleshed varieties. The cut shown is a reproduction of a 

 photograph. It is a medium sized melon, very flat at both 

 ends and more beautifully netted than any known variety. 

 In quality it has no equal; the flesh is uniformly deep and of 

 that granulate character that always indicatas a good melon-
