 the hills let them be dug out as broad 

 and deep as the soil will admit; fill at 

 least one-third full of the best decom- 

 posed stable manure, and mix thor-

 above the level of the ground.

 magnificent melon from the West In- 

 dies was first brought prominently 

 before the public by us in 1881. The 

 skin is beautifully striped, dark and 

 light green. The flesh is bright red, 

 remarkably firm, luscious, and the 

 rind is quite thin for so large a melon.
