The Melon, being of tropical origin, reaches perfection only in a warm temperature. In this latitude we must give the Melon every possible advan- tage to secure earliness and thorough ripening. The same culture as recommended for Cucumbers will insure success. It is desirable alao for the North to secure early ripening varieties. There are two dis- tinct species of Melons, the Musk and the Water Melon. The former are the most easily grown, though, with a selection of early sorts and a little attention at forwarding the young plants early in the season, a good crop of either can be secured almost anywhere. The Melon will grow and ripen well in a warm, sandy, poor soil, but when grown in such a situation the hill must be thoroughly enriched with plenty of available food for the roots. MUSK MELONS.
