General Directions (Melons of the nutmeg group)

The melons of the nutmeg group stand half way between the vegetable marrow so valued by Europeans, (near which must be placed the squash and pumpkin), and the luscious sweetened melons which are classed with fruits, so that they may be used far more generally than usually supposed in sweetened croquettes, as for apples, and with cheese or nuts or eggs, as with vegetables, all of these, of course, giving meat value.
