This new variety is sent out as the most valuable novelty of the 19th century. If it proves to be what the intro- ducer claims for it, it is a decided acquisition. This is of a decidedly distinct appearance, the outside skin being deeply corrugated, with thick flesh and small seed cavity. The flesh is light green, melting, and of a rich aromatic pine-apple flavor. Butthe most remarkable and ^valuable f eature of this new Melon is its wonder- ful keeping qualities. They do not ripen on the vines as other musk-melons, but are picked before hard frost and laid away in a cool, dry cellar, where they will keep sound and sweet for months. When wanted for use they must be brought into a warm room, where they will ripen up in a few days. These qualities will enable market gardeners to supply both fam- ilies and restaurants and hotels with most 4elicious Melons all winter.
