when better known. It grows to a large size, some 
specimens having been grown 18 inches in diameter, 
and weighing nearly four pounds. It is compact, 
folds in very nicely, and blanches well, very crisp 
and sweet, excellent flavour, free from bitterness, it 
will stand for a long time on the ground without 
running to seed. It is not a forcing variety, but is

MELON. 
( Cucumis melo.) (Jucurbitacea:. 
CULTURE . — Similar to that of the Cucumber, but requiring several 
degrees more of heat, which must be maintained with regularity. A quick 
growth should lie encouraged during the earlier stages, and when about one 
foot or so high the tips should be pinched out, causing them to come 
stronger, ard the fruit sets more freely. As a rule they are in perfection 
just before the stems come a.vav easily from the fruit. The soil should be 
kept firm and solid throughout the growth.
