DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF MELONS. 
The writer received from various sources a 
number of different samples of melon seeds, 
and from various parts of ihe Union. Most of 
the senders being subscribers to the Rubai,, I 
propose to speak here of my success with 
them. .My melon vines were all planted on 
ground which was of but moderate fertility— 
the same as was planted to corn. Jn fact my 
round, slightly furrowed, of a yellowish green 
rind when ripe, pale greenish flesh and very 
sweet and juicy. Altogether the best melon of 
the musk or cantelope variety within my 
knowledge. It is a prolific variety, and in this 
respect more than makes up for smallness. 
Jenny Lind Citron, received from A. VV 
Test, of Camden N. d., who remarked in his 
letter, “It is a new variety of citron which has 
made its appearance in this vicinity within the 
last year or two. Jn shape it resembles a ball 
much flattened and indented at the stem end.

THfi BEST SOIL FOR FRUIT TREES. 
Aftkk almost a half century of experience 
in raising fruit, we are decidedly of opinion, as 
a general rule, that the best soil on which to 
raise fruit, is that just cleared of a fbre.-t 'I lie 
surface should be rolling or descending, and 
moderately dry and rich. Such ground needs
