Bolgiano's Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon 



171. Several years ago we were spending our vacation in the mountains, during our absence one of the leading Watermelon growers, 

 living about 100 miles from Baltimore, wrote us he had for a number of years been developing an extra, selected strain of Watermelon, 

 and the result of his eiforts had gone far beyond anything he had ever hoped to produce. Were we interested? He shipped us several 

 samples, these came on boat to Baltimore 100 miles, then on railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching us in perfect condi- 

 tion after traveling 350 miles, through rough country and roughly handled. These Melons attracted the attention of everyone by their 

 beautiful deep green color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them on exhibition, then took them with us back into the mountains. 

 We put the melons in a Cold Mountain Spring and in a few hours we cut them. The Melons were in perfect condition. "Red to 

 the Rind," and entirely free from stringiness. We immediately inspected and purchased the crop. The Cold Monntain Spring Water- 

 melon is a winner as a shipper, as a table Melon and as a Money IVIaker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the seed 

 producd by the originator, so order immediately. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 15c. '4 Lb. 35c. Vi Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00. Postpaid.

 good thing directly from the State of Georgia, the

 States.

 attractive appearance, uniform in shape and

 as honey," melting and of superb flavor. The 

 average melon will weigh 35 to 40 pounds arid

 diameter. Very prolific. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 10c.
