CULTURE rr- 



One ounce of seed to 50 hills. Sow about the last of spring or the 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 pro- 

 ductive and mature earlier. It should not be grown near squashes, 

 cucumbers or 

 pumpkins, as the 

 flavor will 

 fected in 

 quence. 



BALTIMORE NUTMEG. 



Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe. 



THE cut is from a photograph taken from a sample lot of Baltimore 

 Nutmeg Cantaloupes gathered from the field where our seed was 

 grown, and is a fair representation of the whole crop. The stock» 

 seed of this splendid melon was secured from a trucker who enjoys the 

 reputation for raising the finest Cantaloupes that come to the Baltimore 

 market. The writer also tested the fruit, and found it to be of excellent 

 flavor. It is green-fleshed, and the rind is handsomely netted. It is well 

 known and popular with the truckers and market gardeners of Baltimore. 

 Washington, Norfolk and other places; in fact, it is a leading sort all over 

 the country.

IMPROVED JENNY LIND. 



A small, early variety of surpassing good quality, highly recommended 

 for family garden. We consider this the most delicious Cantaloupe we 

 have ever eaten, and while the fruit is small, it is an abundant bearer. 

 A market gardener having this sort for sale would in a short time have 

 no difficulty in disposing of all he could raise.
