LETTUCE. 
C U LT URE .—May be sown during the whole year, but takes considerable to grow it during the hot months. The 
richer and better the ground the larger the head will be. In Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Alabama sow broadcast, and 
transplant when large enough to ten inches apart in the row, and rows a foot apart. In Georgia and above, sow the seed in 
beds and transplant during November. The Drumhead White Cabbage, Ice Drumhead and Satisfaction for this purpose 
are the best. For early forcing the Boston Market is preferable. For _ _ _ 
latitudes south of Northern Georgia for spring planting sow Satisfac¬ 
tion and Prize Head; for early summer use sow Hanson and our All 
the Year Round.

MUSK MELON, or CANTALOUPE. 
CULTURE.—Melons require a rich sandy soil, well 
manured. If the ground is not rich enough good melons 
can be raised on any land by digging holes two feet square 
and filling them with a mixture of leaf mold or well rotted 
muck and cow manure. Plant when all danger from frost 
is past in hills five or six feet apart; drop in ten to twelve 
seeds, and when the plants have two or three rough leaves 
thin out to three or five plants. Some gardeners plant in 
February, covering with boxes the same as described for 
Cucumbers. Superphosphate has a good effect on melons.
