Culture.—Plant in the spring, in hills 5 or 6 feet apart each way, well manured with old rotten compost. Scatter a dozen seeds to a hill, and after they are out of danger from bugs, thin to three or four plants. When they have four or five rough leaves, pinch off the end of the main shoot, which will cause the lateral branches to put forth sooner ; it will strengthen the growth of the vines, and the fruit will come earlier to maturity. A light, dry, sandy soil and a dry atmosphere are most suitable. Melons should not be planted near any other varieties if it is desired to preserve them pure. They have arrived at perfection when the stem will cleave from the fruit. A very rough netted skin is a most sure indication of high-flavored fruit. The varieties are numerous, but the following are the most esteemed. One oz. for 60 hills, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. Coming's Albany Market. This superb variety of melon is the leading melon in Troy and Albany markets. W
