MELON Cultural Hints . — 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 bouyant atmos- 
phere during growth, and give air freely when fruit is ripening, 
checking the supply of water to develop flavour.
