when better known. It grows to a large size, some 
specimens having been grown 18 inches in diameter, 
and weighing nearly 4 lbs. 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 
certainly one of the best varieties for Summer use ever 
introduced. We strongly recommend a trial. ..3d. and 0 6

MELON. 
{Cttcumts melo.) CucuituixACEyE. 
CULTURE . — Similar to that of the Cucumber, but reijiiiring several 
degrees more of heat, which must be maintained with regularity. A quick 
growth should be encouraged during the earlier stages, and when about 1 
foot or so high the tips should be pinched out, causing them to come 
stronger, and the fruit sets more freely. As a rule they are in perfection 
just before the stems come away easily from the fruit. The soil should be 
kept firm and solid throughout the growth.
