When danger of frost is past, plant ten to twelve seeds about an inch deep in each hill, and when danger of insects is over, thin out to four plants to the hill. Ashes, lime, or even dry road-dust is excellent to sprinkle over the young plants when the dew is on to prevent the attacks" of in- sects. To promote fruitfulness, pinch the ends of the vines when the^- begin to blossom, especial!}- if the growth is verj- luxuriant, and cultivate until the %-iues cover the ground. Be careful not to grow them near cucumbers, squashes, as they readily h^-bridize, and the flavor of both is injured. Cantaloupes grown on hea%'>- soil are not of the. best quality. One ounce of seed will plant sixtj^ hills : two pounds will plant one acre. Insect Remedies.—The yellowish green and slight- ly hair}- melon worm is the principal enemy to the melons, not onlj' eating the leaves of the vines, but also eating holes in the melons.

It is a successful cross of the Osage with the Netted Gem, combining the sweetness of the former with the fine netting of the Gem. It has a firmness of rind and structure of flesh peculiarly its own, and superior in this respect to any other melon in existence, surpassing all other varieties as a shipper and long keeper
