Cole’s Early. Cole’s Early is a fine, everyday Melon 
for the amateur. It is very hardy, a sure cropper, and 
extremely delicate in texture of flesh, which is a dark red 
color; the rind is thin and the quality of the flesh is sus¬ 
tained clear to the rind. It is, however, exceedingly 
brittle, hence not desirable for shipping purposes, but 
possessing all the other most desirable features. We can 
highly recommend it for home use. The Melons are of 
medium size, nearly round in shape, rind green, striped 
with lighter shades. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., \i lb. 35 cts.,

Mushrooms are very easy to grow in any dark place 
where a uniform temperature of 50 to 60 degrees may be 
had. A dark cellar or shed, for example. Plant from 
September till January, in a bed composed of one-fourth 
loam and three-fourths fresh horse droppings, without 
much litter; mix thoroughly, put into a heap to ferment, 
and work frequently till it has cooled off somewhat.

Now prepare a bed 4 feet wide, as long as desired, and 
build up on a firm, dry foundation. Pack the soil and 
manure solidly till the bed is level and about a foot high. 
Thrust a thermometer into the center; when it registers 
85 degrees, break the Mushroom Spawn into pieces about 
as large as hen’s eggs, and plant it 2 inches deep and 10 
inches apart all over the bed; cover and press down thro- 
oughly. After 10 days or two weeks cover the bed with 
2 inches of fine, fresh loam, pressed down firmly, and over 
this put 5 or 6 inches of straw or litter. If room is dry, 
spray occasionally with warm water. The Mushrooms 
will begin to appear in four to six weeks. They bring a 
good price, and are worth growing either for home or 
market. 
Five pounds of Spawn for a bed 12 feet long and 
4 feet wide.

deep, the dwarf varieties in beds
