COS or ROMAINE 



This lettuce is frequently called celery lettuce on account of its erect 

 habit of growth and because it possesses dark colored spatulate leaves 

 with prominent midribs. When grown in home gardens, plants should 

 be thinned to about 8 inches apart so that each one will have plenty of 

 room. Does not make solid heads in hot weather.

MUSKMELCN 



Few products of the garden give as much pleasure as ripe sweet melons 

 fresh from the vines. Our list is made up of the most desirable varieties 

 suited for growing wherever melons can be gro^m. 



In sections where the summers are short, seed can be planted indoors 

 or in hot beds in small boxes. The young plants can be transferred to 

 the garden when danger of frost is past. If practicable, spade in a liberal 

 forkful of well rotted manure at the bottom of each hill. The rows 

 should be at least 6 feet apart and the hills 3 feet apart in the rows. In 

 general, the cultm'e is the same as that for cucumber.
