melon, protecting its keeping and shipping qualities and lessening the loss of weight from evaporation. In qual ty it is most deliciously sweet m 



and spicy creating a largely increased demand on account of these excellent points. The seed cavity is very small and is well filled with seed, 8

PUREST AND BEST STRAIN GROWN, f 



157. There is a difference in the stocks of the Rocky Ford Melons that §> 



are being placed in the trucker's hands, and that difference is most of 



severely felt when the trucker places his so-called Rocky Ford stock jy 



on the market alongside of some of Bolgiano's true, handsome, most of 



del'.ciously flavored stock. It does not need the eye of an expert to §> 



discern the difference, for the one presents regularity X>i form, uni- a» 



formity of size, each Melon cut proving the parent luscious stock; and y 



the huckster, shipper, commission merchant, fruiterer, hotel-keeper, a£ 



quickly purchase this stock, knowing that they never have trouble jy 



selling at good prices a Melon of such trueness and quality. Bolgiano & 



of Baltimore can send it direct to you, no matter where you live. It is jy 



impossible to secure truer, better stock, even if you pay five times the <* 



price we ask. We await your order, and shall take pleasure in prompt- §> 



ly filling the same. PKt. 5c, Oz. 10c, 1/4 Lb. 15c, 1/2 Lb. 25c, Lb, SOc. &
