Bolgiano s Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon. 

 171. New 1905 Variety.— I,ast summer we were spending our vaca- 

 tion in the Mountains. During our absence, one of the leading Water- 

 melon 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 results 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 rail- 

 road 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 for a week, then took them with us on a 



fishing trip many miles back into the mountains in a rough wagon over 



roads which were more like the beds of a stream. Reaching our 



destination, we put the Melons in a COLD MOUNTAIN SPRING, and in 



a few hours we cut them. Notwithstanding such unusually rough 



handling, the Melons were in perfect condition, a beautiful "Red to the 



Rind," and simply delicious in flavor, entirely free from stringinessand 



fairly melted in our mouths. It is hardly necessary to say we immedi- 



the crop of this melon and secured the entire supply of seed. The Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon is a winner as a shipper, as a table 



Monev Maker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the Seed produced by the originator, so order immediately. PKt. 10c.

172. Cannon Ball Watermelon.— This 



extra large, handsome Melon, brought the 

 highest market price in the Baltimore 

 market this past summer— often $25 to $40 

 a hundred — when the ordinary kinds were 

 selling at $10 to $15. It is enormously 

 productive, with rich, dark green skin, 

 remarkably uniform in size, and its ship- 

 ping qualities are phenomenal. It cuts 

 equal to any Melon we have ever eaten, 

 and more than satisfies the large grower.

Luscious Favorite Watermelon. 



175. This magnificent Melon is one of the most superior Watermelons ever 

 , placed in the hands of the growers. It is always the first to ripen; IT HAS NO 



EQUAI, AS A SHIPPING MELON; it is the most vigorous and productive; it will 

 * grow more large, handsome, uniform Melons per acre than any other Melon now 

 known. The outer color is very bright, being a beautiful mottled light green, i ne 

 rind is thin and tough, and stands shipping perfectly; it is an excellent 

 keeper, and improves in quality after ripening. It has an attractive shape; nes " Is 

 a light vivid red in color, and very solid, crisp, tender, melting and sweet, ine 

 flavor is exquisite, possessing not only the ordinary sweetness, but a luscious n avo !T 

 not to be found in any other sort. Every grower who gives this Melon a trial will 

 be more thoroughly convinced of its superior merits than we are able to P t J r Jj^ y l . m 

 these few lines. As a Melon for the private home garden, it has no equal. PKt. 3C.
