“ I thought you would like to see a s.-imple of your Earl's Favourite Melon. They were grown In a cool frame by myself, an amateur, 
1 cut 42 Melons off six plants. There is little doubt this is the best green-flesh Melon grown.” — R. P. Hoohes, The Old House. 
7he Cultivation of Melon. — Sow for first crop in January, and plant when ready into pits or on slabs filled 
with good maiden loam and well rotted manure, adding a tlressing of fine soil to the .surface and bringing the 
plants as near the light and glass as possible. It is essential that a regular tem])erature be secured rather than a 
nigh degree of heat. Keep a moist buoyant atmosphere during growth and give air freely when fruit is ripening, 
checking the supply of water to develop flavour. The frame varieties are sown later, and kept under glass until 
the season is sufficiently advanced for them to be put out on a warm heap of soil in the frame.
