[Fk. Laituc. Ger, Lattich.] 
One ounce will sow one lannidred square 
feet, or one luiiKlrcd and twenty feet of 
drill 
Culture. —For an early crop sow under glass in Feb¬ 
ruary, and transplant on a well prepared bed, in some 
sheltered corner, in April, For successional crops, sow in 
teds of well pulverised soil in March, and at intervals of 
about a fortnight until the end of May. When sowing for 
cutting young, the seed may be put in rather thick, in rows 
•r broadcast, but to have finer heads it should be sown 
thinly in rows, and transplanted a foot apart into the rich¬ 
est soil. The hardy varieties may be sown in September, 
in a dry sheltered situation, and if slightly protected will 
stand the winter well, and will give a good crop in Spring; 
♦r they may be transplanted in cold farmes, where they 
will head during the winter and early spring, 
Dutch Butterhead-—A sure heading variety of superior 
quality, and slow to shoot to seed. Per pkt., 5c ; oz., 
20; 14 lb., 60; lb., $2.co. 
HANSON. 
A very fine heading variety of the largest size, and stand¬ 
ing the sun better than any other sort. The heads are 
very large, solid, sweet, tender and crisp throughout, 
and entirely free from any bitter taist. I have obtained 
a very fine stock of this variety, and can reccomrnend it 
as one of the very best on my list. Per pkt., 10c ; oz., 
30; *4 lb., $1.00: lb., $3.co. 
Simpson’s Early Curled-—One of the best early sorts for 
family or market use. All the leaves tend to produce a 
large, loose head. Leaves beautifully crimped, dark 
green, very tender and crisp. Reccommended for gen¬ 
eral cultivation. Per pkt., 10c ; oz., 20; ^ lb., 75 ; lb.,

MELON—Musk. 
[Fr. Melon. Ger, Zukes Melon.'] 
One ounce willx pltuit nbout eigfltotf.y Itills. 
Culture. —Cultivate as reccommended for cucumbers, 
except that the hills should be six feet apart, but avoid 
planting near those plants, as they will mix with and in¬ 
jure the quality of the melon ; this and heavy rains at the 
lime of ripening will destroy the flavor of the finest stock. 
Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure, 
kut if the latter must be used, see that it is well rotted. If 
Ihe plants grow very rank, more and finer fruit will be 
secured by pinching'ofT the ends of the shoots when about 
three feet long. 
BAY ViEW. 
tfriut large, often sixteen to eighteen inches long, and will 
ripen up finely if picked quite green, making it one of the

Culture.- Although the finest melons are produced o» 
light, sandy, comparatively poor soil, a vigorous start for 
the young plants is necessary, and for this we need a hill 
of rich earth, similar to that for cucumbers, If very larg*. 
fruit is desired, pick off all but one melon.
