Mpl QM _ The Cultviation of Melon. —Sow for first crop in 
■ January, and plant when ready into pits or on 
slabs filled with good maiden loam and well-rotted manure, 
adding a dressing of fine soil to the surface and bringing the 
plants as near the light and glass as possible. It is essential that 
a regular temperature be secured rather than a high degree of 
heat. Keep a moist buoyant atmosphere during growth, and give 
air freely when fruit is ripening, checking the supply of water to 
develop flavour The frame varieties are sown later, and kept 
under glass until the season is sufficiently advanced for them to 
be put out on a warm heap of so : l in the frame.

flavour, and has found favour wherever grown. The photograph 
shows its general appearance, but the delicacy of the netting 
is more intense. It has all the good qualities of a first-class variety, 
being a free and easy setter.
