New Winter P ineappie Muskmelon, 
The Winter Pineapple differs from all other musk- 
melons in shape and appearance of the fruit and its 
wonderful keeping qualities. The melons weigh from 
8 to 12 lbs. each. It is a most valuable novelty. These 
splendid melons do 
not ripen on the vines 
like other muskmel- 
ons, but have to be 
picked in a green 
state, before frost, 
lain away in a cool, 
dry place where they 
will keep sound and 
sweet for several mos. 
W hen wanted for use 
bring them in a warm 
room, where they will 
ripen in a few days 
and be ready to eat. 
The flesh is unusu- 
ly thick, solid, and 
melting ; a light green 
color and has the most 
delightful flavor im- 
maginable, being rich, spicy, and delicious, with an 
agreeable pineapple taste. 
The Artist, ( Mr. Blanc, of Phila.) who has made en¬ 
gravings of, and tasted nearly all the new melons in¬ 
troduced in the past ten years, says ‘Winter Pineap¬ 
ple is decidedly the finest flavored muskmelon I have 
ever eaten.” Large Packet 10 cts., 3 for 25 ets.

summer long. The blossoms were 
immense, and of the most beauti¬ 
ful tints. In the fall they were 
taken into the house, and they 
have bloomed continuously all 
winter. Mrs. C. C. ALFOD,Mass.

FLOWERS. 
“God might have made the earth bring 
Enough for great and small, [ fortf 
The oak-tree and the cedar-tree, 
Without a flower at all. 
He might have made enough, enough 
For every want of ours, 
For luxury, medicine, and toil, 
And yet have made no flowers. 
Our outward life requires them not, 
Then wherefore had they birtli ? 
To minister delight to man, 
To beautify the earth J 
To comfort man—to whisper hope 
Whene’er his faith is dim, 
For He who eareth for the flowers 
Will care much more for him !
