 countries. The plant produces such a 

 number of fruits that all the ground is 

 covered wit 1 them . . . per OZ — /3 



CilentO (Dam.). Of oval shape, smooth 

 dark green skin and medium size. The

 its seeds are unlike any of other melons. 

 Highly to be recommended all the more 

 as it is very productive . per OZ — /2
