THERE is a difference in the stocks of the Rocky Ford Melons that are being placed in the truckers' hands, and that difference is most severely- 

 felt when the trucker places his so-called Rocky Ford stock on the market alongside of some of Bolgiano's true, handsome, most deliciously 

 flavored stock. It does not then need the eye of an expert to discern the difference, for the one presents regularity of form, uniformly of size, 

 each Melon cut proving the parent luscious stock; and the huckster, shipper, commission merchant, fruiterer, hotel-keeper, qnickly purchase 

 this stock, knowing that they never have trouble selling at good prices a Melon of such trueness and quality. You may have been fooled else- 

 where- You do not under any circumstances, want to lose your future opportunities of making compensating prices from the sale of this world- 

 renowned Melon. But you do want to plant the real true stock from Bolgiano of Baltimore, who can send it direct to you, no matter where you 

 live. Our crop has been a large one this year, and we are willing that you shall share with us the benefit of Nature's blessings, and are there- 

 fore making the price reasonable, so everyone who sees this can have no excuse for planting poor mixed stock. It is impossible to secure truer, 

 better stock, even if you pay five times the price we ask. We await vour order, and shall take pleasure in promptly filling the same. Pkt.,
