The cantaleups are varieties characterized by their rinds being universally covered with reticulations. With the exception of the green, or oblong-ribbed, these bear round fruit, more or less approaching a flattened spheroid. Their common name is derived from that of one of the country-seats of the pope, where they are much cultivated. MELON CULTURE.
