Cole’s Early. Cole’s Early is a fine, every-day 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 sustained 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 
Sepa shades. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c: 1%4 lb., 35c; Ilb.,

Mushrooms 
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 drop- 
pings, without much litter; mix thoroughly, put into a heap to 
ferment, and work frequently till it has cooled off somewhat.
