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 efforts 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 condition 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 backinto the mountains. We put the melons 

 in a Cold Houatain Spring, and in a few hours we cut them. The Melons were in a perf ?it cond-tion. "Red to the Rind." and entirely free 

 from stringiness. We immediately inspected and purchased the crop. The Cold Honntaia Spring WateTine'on is a winner as a shipper, as 

 a table Melon and as a Jloney Maker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the seed produced by the originator, so order imme- 

 diately. Pkt. 10. Oz. 15c. JiLb, 35c. K Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00. Postpaid.

245. In the Tom Watson we have a decidedly | 



good thing directly from the State of Georgia, the 

 "Home of the Watermelon," where the Watermelon '' 



grows to a greater state of perfection probably than 

 in almost any other part of the United States. 



The Tom Watson is an extralong melon of attrac- 

 tive appearance, uniform in shape and quality; the 

 luscious crimson flesh is "as sweet as honey," melt- -v,-,. 



ing and of superb flavor. The average melon will " - — 



weigh 35 to 40 pounds and measure 28 inches long 

 and about 12 inches in diameter. Very prolific.
