Mr. Girardeau, to whom we are indebted for some of the finest melons that have been introduced, has a new one this year which is spoken very highly of. It is very prolific; early and very large, having averaged over 40 pounds each to the acre; deliciously sweet and of the finest flavor. Mr. F. A. Eld- ridge writes: "It astonished the natives as well as ourselves, for I had many that weighed from 80 to 87 ; J. E. Fultz: "One great point is that all the*melons, though large, are of first-rate ; Mr. J. H. M. Harrison: "I have two specimens that weigh 78 and 84 ; We must conclude that the Triumph is an enormous variety of excellent quality and a great cropper, for Mr. Girardeau himself on two and one half acres raised 2,418 melons, which averaged over 40 pounds each. This was at the rate of full 18 tons to the acre. Price, per pound, postpaid, 75 cents; per i pound, 23 cents; per ounce, 10 cents; per package, 5 cents. DIXIE. A new Southern variety, which is said to surpass the famous Kolb's Gem as a shipper, and to be unexcelled in quality and productiveness. One grower realized $200 per acre.; another got $30 to $40 per hundred; a third declares it the best in his. thirty years of experience; a fourth counted a dozen ripe to a hill, and a fifth took first premium at the Illinois fair. Price, per pound, postpaid, 50 cents; per \ pound, 18 cents; per ounce, 1
