has had such widespread popularity and been a source of so much profitable realizing as this 
grand melon’ The stock of seed has never yet been equal to the demand, and as the past season cut 
short the seed crop very materially, we are sure the seed of this famous money maker will very early be con- 
sumed, and we advise all our patrons to secure their supply immediately from us. The ground color of the skin 
is, when ripe, of a rich greenish gold. The netting is very prominent and is: light in color, which makes the 
outer appearance very attractive. The flesh is very deep, ripening clear to the rind, and it has an exceedingly 
small seed cavity. It is very sweet and luscious in flavor, and is entirely devoid of any stringy character. Our 
seed was specially grown for us by a careful grower at Rocky Ford, and is the best type of the genuine Rocky
