Cos Lettuce 



Green Leaved Cos, 50 days. — Americans 

 familiar with European travel have been 

 delighted with the long, spoon-shaped, nar- 

 row-leaved Lettuce served everywhere and 

 termed Romain at the hotels, but upon 

 their return home they have not found the 

 Romain in the American markets. Yet if 

 they have home gardens they can grow it 

 themselves to as perfect a condition as ob- 

 served abroad.

Paris White Cos or Romain, 50 days. — This 

 variety, maturing for table in seven weeks 

 from germination, should be found in every 

 vegetable garden, as it is a thoroughly reliable 

 Lettuce. A strong grower and very produc- 

 tive, with long, shell-shaped leaves of most 

 excellent quality. It is a self-folder, but 

 when the plant is over half grown it is best 

 tied up with a soft string or a wisp of grass, 

 that the inner leaves may be blanched per- 

 fectly white, in which condition they are 

 more crisp and decidedly more palatable 

 than varieties of a Cabbage-heading habit. 

 It is a mystery why it does not displace 

 them, especially as a given amount of ground 

 will produce more than twice the amount of 

 edible leaves that can possibly be obtained 

 from any round-head variety.

Cantaloupe or Musk Melon-Green Fleshed 



Two Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds to the Acre. 



Cantaloupes, or Citron Melons, as they are termed m Jersey, do w ell upon sod gr ^und or upon la nd 

 prepared for planting by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat or Winter Rye, the sod or grass aerating or 

 keeping loose the soil. No plant is more influenced by the conditions of its growth.. 



The seed is planted at about Corn-seeding time, or when the Apple is m bloom m hills about 4 |teet 

 in each direction, two shovelfuls of well-rotted stable manure bemg trampled into each hill and covered with 

 earth. The large, long Melons, like the Reedland Giant and Casaba are generally sold by the hundred, 

 Melons of the ordinary form and size are sold by the basket of one-half to five-eighths bushel capacity. 

 Twenty-six hundred hifis to the acre should produce 15,000 to 20,000 fruits. Can^oupes ^and ^ucumberB 

 are often destroyed by lice on the vines. The remedy to meet such depredations is to spray the eaves 

 with Bordeaux Mixture. Cantaloupe vines are often blighted by heavy early morning fogs, the leaves 

 appearing afterward as if a flame of fire had passed over the field.
