^ CULTURE 



One ounce of seed to oO hills. Sow about the last of sprine or the first 

 of summer, in hills of light, rich, sandy soil, four teet apart, allowing but 

 three plants to grow in each hill: alter they have grown about a toot long, 

 pinch off the points ot 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 shou ld n ot be grow n ne ar squashes, 

 cucumbers or ^ " 



pumpkins, as the 

 flavor will be af- 

 fected in conse- 

 quence. 



BALTIMORE 



^ Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe. 



THE cut is from a photograph taken from a sample lot of B.\ltimore 

 Nutmeg C.\NT.\i,ourES 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 Cantalou]ies that come to the Baltimore 

 market. The writer also te.sted 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 aU over 

 the country.

IMPROVED JENNY LIND. 



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

 for family garden. We con.sider 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.
