Description of Botanical Coloring Page: Melons were lusted after by the Israelites in the wilderness, with other articles of food which they had in Egvpt (Numbers 11: 5). Melons were early cultivated in Egypt. The water-melon, on account of its abundant refreshing juice, was a great favorite there, as it is to-day in most countries that have a hot dry summer. The common melon was also cultivated and supplied a certain amount of food, with a sweeter though less abundant juice. The Hebrew word is abattechem, and this is still retained by the Arabs, who call both melons batteekh.
