MELON. 
The following list of melons were planted May 5 and 6 on 
inverted sods in the cold frame. June 3 and 4 six of the 
sods, each containing 3 to 5 plants were set out two feet apart, 
in rows twelve feet long and seven feet apart. The sods 
were handled carefully so as not to disturb the roots. The 
plants did not wilt in the least, and the transplanting did 
not retard their growth. The varieties received from Maule 
were planted in the open ground June 8.
