QUALITY SEEDS AND BULBS— “THEY COME UP SMILING’ 
ENGLISH FORCING OR FRAME 
MUSKMELONS 
These must be grown in greenhouse, hotbed or 
coldframe. 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 pos- 
sible. It is essential that a regular temperature 
be secured rather than a high degree of heat. 
Keep a moist bouyant atmosphere during growth, 
and give air freely when fruit is ripening, check- 
ing the supply of water to develop flavor.
