Cultivate about as recommended for cucumbers, except that the hills should be six feet apart, but avoid planting near those plants, as they will mix with and injure the quality of the melons; this and heavy rains at the time of ripening will destroy the flavor of the finest stock. Rich earth for the young plants is far better than manure, but if the latter must be used see that it is well rotted. If the plants grow very rank more and finer fruit will be secured by pinching off the ends of the shoots when about three feet long. >eS=-One ounce will plant about eighty hills. Emerald Gem. Of superior flavor and quality; the out- side skin is an emerald green color, and quite smooth; they ripen early and produce well; the flesh is light red or salmon; very thick, juicy and crystaline, and lucious in flavor.
