the very best possible. Price is. 6d., 2s. 6d., and 3s. 6d. per packet. 
“ I thought you would like to see a sample of your Earl’s Favourite Melon. They were grown in a cool frame 
by myself, an amateur. I cut 42 Melons off six plants. There is little doubt this is the best green-flesh Melon grown.” — 
R. P. Hughes, The Old House. 
The 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 dressing of fine soil to the surface and bringing the plants as near the light and glass as 
possible. It is essential that a regular temperature be secured rather than a high 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.
