Baltimore Nutmeg 
Muskmelon or Canteloupe. 
Our seed this season has been grown from 
the old original stock seed that we have had 
on hand for more than six years. We sent 
the seed to our grower and directed him to 
plant the seed and take special care of the 
crop, which he did. He says the crop wasa 
fine one, and we feel sure that persons grow- 
ing Canteloupes from this seed will be more 
than pleased with the crop. The Baltitaore 
Nutmeg Canteloupe is, as you all know, a 
large Green-Flesh variety, sweet as sugar; 
in fact the flavor is that rich canteloupe 
flavor which cannot be duplicated in any 
other kind of fruit. Remember we have 
this season the original stock. Buy early 
and find success. Packets, 5c. and Ioc.

\ Watermelon — This new melon, as 
a market sort and for shipment, is the best we have 
ever introduced. It is very prolific, very early, and 
of uniformly large size. It is a cross between the 
Duke Jones and and Kolb Gem; has the fine, hand- 
some appearance of the former and the fine shipping 
qualities of the latter. Therind, like the Duke Jones, 
is of dark green color, the seed exactly the same color 
as those of the Kolb Gem. The average size of the 
melon is very large. Our stock of this seed is very 
linfited. Packet, 1oc. % pound, 25c. Pound, 5oc. 
Kolb’s Gem Watermelon—Our stock is from 
headquarters. This is one of the largest, most prolific, 
best shipping and keeping melons ever introduced. 
So popular did it become that we were unable to fill 
all our orders in the past three years. The rind is 
very thin, but tough; flesh bright red and flavor ex- 
cellent. In our long experience we have never known 
any melon to introduce itself so quickly to growers 
and shippers. After another year’s trial it is more 
valued than ever. Packet, 5c. Ounce, t1oc. % pound,

Improved Florida Favor- 
ite.—This excellent variety 
is a remarkabie heavy

is two weeks earlier than 
Kolb’s Gem or Gypsy; of 
medium size, covered with 
light and dark green stripes, 
alternately; flesh deep red,
