Plant in large, deep, mellow hills, made very rich with well-rotted manure, and you will have great crops of this delicious veg- etable, which to be had at its best, must be picked from one's own garden. New Climbing in Northern Russia, where the Water- melon does not mature in the open ground, this variety has been grown trained up on trellises under glass. In this country it does not, of course, need to be grown under glass, as it attains its greatest perfection in the open ground, and is the earliest Watermelon in cultiva- tion, and one which is most unique in many particulars. The melons are freely produced and are spherical m shape, weighing four or five pounds, and a deep olive- green color. The rind is very thin and the flesh rich crimson; very juicy, melting and delicious. The seeds are black and very small, being more like good-sized apple seeds than like watermelon seeds. This is sure to become one of the most popular garden melons on ac- count of its extreme earliness and on account, also, o. its most delicious quality and climbing habit.
