J3weet Heart Melon (see cut) \^-k. new, distinct variety of melon, growing very large, of light, mottled green color, and very regular in shape and size. The rind is thin but very tough and firm, and will not burst open easily, making it one of the best sorts for shipping. The flesh is a bright red, very firm and solid, but melting and sweet, and will remain in eatable condition longer than any sort on the market. The growth of the vine is very vigorous, exceedingly prolific, and ripens its fruit earlier than the Rattlesnake.
