MUSkMiLONS Ten TO EIGHTEEN
DOLLARS PER DOZEN.
BY VIM. Stuart.

Some time ago the writer in an
aftlcio on cultural studies # the
Montreal market mushlnelon showed
that the commercial culture of the
famous Montreal melon is confined
almost wholly to small group of
growers near Montreal, Canada 1t
was also pointed out that, while a
large proportion OF these melons were
marketed in Boston. New York, Phila~
delphla and other large eastern cities
at extremely rCmuneratiVe prices
practically no effort was being made
by American gardeners to meet this
demand. More recent observations
nave confirmed these statements, ard
IN addition, have shown that notwith-
standing the fact that the Montreal
growers have for the past few years
received frd4 ten to eighteen doIla rs
dozen wholesale fer their melon1
they nave not as yet succeeded in sup
plying the demand. The writer was
informed five years ago by one Of the
best growers that he had q ten year
contract with leading New York
City hotel, which agreed to take every
first class melon he raised This par
tlcular case is cited ii order to dis
| play the keen demand which exists
among high class hotels and restau-
| rants for this variety of melon during
! the season in which it is on the mar
! iet
| The high prices which these melons
command. and their restricted pro
| duction Notwithstanding the high
| prices. are doubtless due to the fl ct
| that greater skill is demanded and
| closer attention 10 details IS necC5-
sary 90 success than when other Va
rieties arc grown. Furthermore, glass
! sash and frames are needed. TheT
again, the Montreal grower conf
| IDENTITY believes that this particular
| sort of melon can Oe successfully
I grown only on certain types OF soil OF
The island of Montreal. This belle
seems to have this much basis il
fact, that while occasionally grown
elsewhere high favored melons hav,
not commonly been produced save b.
! Montreal growers; indeed flavor ha
usually been lacking.
The crop is a remunerative one
when conditions favor. From $3.50
TO $4,000 per acre are not unusual re
turns. Mr. L. S. Blair estiAates al
average crop at $2,250 per acre, will
operating expenses, including interes
on investment and depreciation, o
$500 One grower informed th
writer that his average sales from
seven to eight acres was in the vicinit
of SIG, 900.
These melons vary greatly in size
The writer was informed by one cOLl
mission house that it had purchase
melon weighing A pounds: and h
. PERSONAL say one weighing 2
pounds which had been selected b
the grower for seed purposes.
The average weight of No. l melon
ranges from 8 to ) pounds, With
mean weight of about 10 pounds

Hendersonville, July 11.-Commis-
sioner of Labor and Printing NJ. J.
Shipman, who spent the first Of the
week with members of his family. who
are visiting his parents at Blantyre,
reports that the State experimental
farm at Blantyre has one Of the finest
crops of peaches ever known in this
section. The fruit is now being
marketed and is bringing tip top
prices. Prospects for good crops Of
apples and pears are bright and the
farm has fine corn crop. Mr.. Ship
man says that the farm is self-sup
porting, which he claims Is better
record than the other experimental
farms Of North Carolina. although it
took persistent efforts on the part OF
the mountain people to prevent the
abandonment Of this farm by the
State about year ago. The farm IS
a few miles from this city.
