SCARLET-FLESH MELON. 
THE VERY BEST VARIETY IS 
CARTERS’ BLENHEIM ORANGE. 
The Cultivation 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 reguiar temperature be secured rather than a 
high degree of heat. Give air freely when fruit is ripening, to develop flavour. (See also Carters’ Practical Gardener, price is., post free is. 3d.}

Carters’ Holborn Favourite •—The raiser of this 
splendid Melon is Mr. A. Pettigrew, of Cardiff Castle Gardens, who describes 
it as follows:—“Fruit of the largest size, roundish ovate ; rind, lemon colour, 
heavily netted ; flesh, greenish-white ; flavour, sweet, melting, and juicy ; habit 
of plant, strong and vigorous ; a free setter and a great bearer. It is one of the 
handsomest and best-flavoured Melons in cultivation, and was greatly admired 
by all who have seen it growing here.” We fully endorse the raiser’s recom¬ 
mendation.

Carters’ Amberwood Beauty._ A tand „« 
Melon, the result of a cross between Hero of Lockinge and Read’s Scarlet Flesh. 
Mr. Garner, the raiser, says :—“ It is a strong grower, free in setting its fruit, 
which swell to a good size without the aid of any manure ; it is beautifully netted, 
and the best green-flesh Melon that can be grown.”

Carters’ Emerald Gem—Green Flesh. 
The late Head Gardener at a Royal Establishment writes: — “It is the best 
green-flesh Melon I have ever grown, both for flavour and constitution. I have 
cut this season the third crop, weighing four to five pounds each. It wants no 
improving as a Melon, for, when well grown, you cannot beat it. It is a very 
black green till ripening, when it colours up like a pine or a ball of gold.”
