TAIT S ACME MELON. serving in halves, extra earliness, and the fact that a hundred may usually be cut without one proving really poor, have led buyers to draw comparisons between it and the larger kinds which supplanted it for a time. Hotel and restaurant stewards, particularly, have found it an econom- ical as well as a good cantaloupe, and now the demand from this quarter is very steady.
