CARTERS’ HARDY FRAME MELON. 
It is many years since the Royal Horticultural Society awarded us their First Class 
Certificate for a Melon that could be easily grown without heat. In Carters’ Hardy Frame 
we now offer a variety sjjccially suitable for amateurs who do not posse.ss the convenience 
necessary for cultivating the more tender Melons. The fruits are large, ribbed, and the llesh a 
rich scarlet colour. 
“ I should like lo recommend your Hardy Frame .Melon. This has been a threat success ; it bears profusely, 
sets well, and is very little trouble, and the fruits are of good size and satisfactory flavour. It should become a boon 
to all those growers who only have frame room at their disposal.’* — Mr. W. A. Cook, Head (iardener to 
Sir Kdmund G. Loder, Bart. 
'fhe Cultivation of Melon . — Sow for first cro]> 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 tliat a regular temperature be .secured rather than a 
iiigh degree of heat. Keep a moist buoyant atmosjihere during growth and give air freely when fruit is ripening, 
checking the supply of water to develo]> 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. 
Everyone who has a frame is recommended to give it a trial.
