Vegetable Marrow. 



Unnamed variety (De Luca). — Habit bushy ; fruits large, long, deep 

 green striped with a darker green ; heavy bearer. 



Turnip. 



Little Marvel (Carter). — White, round, handsonie ; foliage short and 

 sturdy. A very early variety that should be valuable for forcing. 



Melon. 



1. Herati (Burkill). — Fruit large, oval ; beautiful golden colour ; no 

 netting ; white flesh and indifferent in flavour. 



2. Sarda (Burkill). — Very similar to No. 1. 



8. Wilhite (The Western Orchards Produce Co.). — Fruit arge, oval, 

 dark green, heavily netted ; flesh scarlet and of very fair flavour. This is 

 the most extraordinary melon for keeping that we have seen, fruits being 

 perfectly sound and fresh six weeks after cutting from the plant.
