Starting Cantaloupes in Veneer Bands 
Agriculture, the farm paper printed by 
the New Jersey Experiment Station, gives 
a brief statement about starting melons 
in bands or boxes. The two pictures here 
printed require but little explanation. One 
shows the plants growing in a little box 
made of veneer (we have used strawberry 
boxes successfully). The box is filled 
Cantaloupe Plants Started in Veneer 
Band 
with good soil or compost and the seeds 
are planted. The box is kept in the sun 
in a warm place—the soil well watered. 
When the plants are ready for outside 
planting the box is stripped off as shown 
in the second picture and the bunch of 
soil, well filled with roots, is planted in 
Plants icith Band Tic moved 
the field. By means of this plan it is 
often possible to gain several weeks in 
ripening melons. 
New Plant Immigrants 
Bulletin No. 211, issued by the Office of 
Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction, Bu¬ 
reau of Plant Industry, has a note about 
the nipa palm which serves so many uses 
in the Philippines. It says: From an 
economic standpoint this palm is one of 
the most important in the Philippines. It 
occurs along tidal streams throughout 
the archipelago and thrives only in brack¬ 
ish swamps. The “nipa,” as it is called, 
has a stout, creeping underground stem, 
and the pinnate leaves, which are in erect 
clusters, are 7 meters (23 ft.) or more in 
length. The flat fruits, 5 in. long, 4 in. 
wide and 2 in. thick, are crowded in a 
large round head, which is borne on a 
special, erect stalk. The juice obtained 
by cutting this stalk just below the fruit¬ 
ing head is a very promising source of 
sugar and alcohol. Eighty-five per cent 
of the 3,000,000 gallons of proof alcohol 
produced annually in the Philippines 
probably comes from the nipa palm. The 
leaves of this palm are extensively used 
for thatching and for making baskets and 
mats, and the immature seeds are boiled 
in sugar to form a confection. In addi¬ 
tion to the above the tree is also a pleas¬ 
ing ornamental. 
The following report from Alaska Agri¬ 
cultural Experiment Stations relates to 
Medicago falcata, a variety of Alfalfa 
from Tomsk. Siberia: “This species has 
been propagated until we now have 10 
acres of it planted at the Rampart Sta¬ 
tion. It has been found absolutely hardy, 
surviving the Winter in places where 
other Alfalfas winter-kill. It is the most 
valuable legume so far discovered for in¬ 
terior Alaska. Clierno, Cossack. Oren- 
berg. Semipalatinsk. and other Siberian 
Alfalfas have been tried, but they have 
not equaled Medicago falcata in hardi¬ 
ness or seed-bearing qualities.” 
Special Offering of “Trees propagated from bearing orchards” 
Last year’s dry summer gave us more than our usual quantity of smaller sized stock, and we offer, 
subject to prior sale, the following items. The roots of these trees are line, they are simply too small 
for our regular grades. If you are not ready to plant in permanent places—a plow will open a furrow 
where they can quickly be “lined out" and crow into money on your own farm. A real saving in your 
planting investments. Of course we can supply larger sizes.
