this Is not certain. The muskmelon
has never been found in wild state,
and is supposed to have originated In
India and to have been brought thence
by way Of Persia. Melons from seed
brought from Armenia were cultivated
three centuries ago at Cantaluppi,
near Rome, and thence were intro
duced all over Europe under the
name of cantaloupes, whence our pres
ent name for them. which is being
supplanted in the market by the cog
nomen OF Rocky Ford; for once the
cantaloupe gets into the hands of the
dealer. 1t may be raised in Indiana or
any other seaport, but 1t is always a
