Culture. Melons thrive best 
in a rich, light soil. Plant early 
in May, when the ground has 
become warm and dry, in hills 
six feet apart each way for 
muskmelon, eight feet for 
watermelon. Previous to sow- 
ing the seed, mix a few shovel- 
fuls of well-rotted manure in 
each hill, and plant in each 12 
to 15 seed: after all danger of 
the bugs is over, thin out to 
three plants per hill. When 
about one foot long, pinch off 
the tips to make them branch, 
as it strengthens the growth of 
the vines and makes the fruit 
mature earlier. Give plenty of 
water and feed liquid manure 
occasionally. A few hills for 
early use may be h.ad by sow- 
ing on pieces of sod in a hot- 
bed, and when warm enough 
transplant to open ground. 
SWEET AIR CARTAEOURE. 
There has not been intro- 
duced a melon as deserving 
to be placed in the front rank 
of melons as this one. All 
the good qualities of all 
other melons are combined in 
this melon. I>kt. 5 and 10

KEECKEEY’S 
SWEET 
WATERMEEON. 
The finest melon 
yet introduced for 
home growing and 
table use. Vines 
are strong, vigor- 
ous, and the fruits 
grow to large size, 
18 to 20 ins. long 
and 12 ins. in di- 
ameter. Skin is a 
rich, dark green; 
flesh bright scar- 
let, ripening close 
to the rind, which 
is but half an inch 
thick, so that ship- 
ping it long dis- 
tances is not prac- 
ticable. Crisp, su- 
gary, melting and entirely 
free from stringiness. Pkt.
