and the quality of melon, so that,
after little experience, 1t is possible
to grade melons with extreme ac-
netting. AS rule, the denser and
more fully developed the netting, the
better the quality OF the melon. The
netting should stand out like whip
cords on melons graded as fancy
stock. Well-netted melons, in which
the netting is not quite so prominent,
together with Off sizes of the best
netted melons, may be graded as No.
/. Specimens with still less netting,
but in which the netting is fairly well
developed. may be graded as No. 2.
The extent to which the netting is
developed Is more important than the
absolute amount of netting in deter
mining whether given specimen
shall be graded as No. or a Gull.
Melons in which the netting is very
poorly developed, as well as those
without any netting, should be classed
as culls. Cracked and overripe speci-
mems must be graded as culls even
though of fine quality, for they would
be likely to spoil before reaching the
consumer.
While the grading of melons as to
quality is of extreme Importance, the
full benefit of such grading cannot be
secured unless methods of packing are
employed which will enable the mel
ons to present an attractive appear
ance upon the market This means
that the melons in given package
must be fairly uniform in size, ar
ranged in an attractive manner, and
so packed that each specimen will re-
main in the exact position where 1t
was placed by the packer. The pack
ing must be tight, and yet the melons
not bruised by being jammed into
place.
Sometimes melons are packed from
the ground in the open field or under
the shade of tree, but nearly all
progressive growers provide shed of
some sort to protect both melons and
packers from showers as well as sun
shine. and to facilitate the packing.
The shed is often only temporary
structure. since the melon patch is us.

THE MARKETING OF

Suggestions Facilitating Handling
John W. Lloyd Asst. Chief In O1ericuIture
Illinois University.

Even II standard variety of melon
is grown and standard packages en-
ployed, unless the melons are handled
in such way as to reach the market
in a condition acceptable to the trade,
the best results in reference to prices
and profits cannot be secured. The
methods employed in the picking.
grading and packing of the melons
have an important influence upon their
condition and appearance when they
reach the market.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the exact stage of matur-
ity at which melons should be picked
for shipment II allowed to become
too ripe before picking, they become
soft by the time they reach the mar
ket, and often must be sacrificed in
order to effect an immediate sale. If
picked too green. the melons reach
market in firm condition, but are lack
ing in flavor and are not desired by
the best trade. 1t is nice point to
pick melons at such degree of ripe

In firm condition. and yet possess the
requisite flavor. The farther from
market. the melons are produced. the
less mature they must be when picked.
Furthermore, the rapidity of soften
ing after picking varies with the tenn
perature TO which the melons are sub
jected.
While II is true that no rule can be
given for picking melons that will ap'
ply under all conditions. and that the
grower must exercise judgment in ref.
erence to each days picking. the ideal
will be attained when the conditions
are such that the melons will reach
the market In the best condition II

readily from the stem when the latter
Is pressed with the thumb or finger,
There is a tendency among some grow
ers to pick considerably before this
point has been reached, In order to
run no risk OF the melons becoming
soft In transit. In fact, some grow
crs make u practice OF picking the
melons before a crack appears about
the stem or any change OF color takes
place. even on the under side OF the
fruit.
Proper grading OF melons results In
the securing OF better prices than In
