GANNON 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 ordinary kinds were selling at $10 to $15. It is 

 enormously productive, with rich, dark green skin, 

 remarkably uniform in si2e, and its shipping qualities 

 are phenominal. It cuts equal to any Melon we have 

 ever eaten, and more than satisfies the large grower

 ever been grown. It has given great satisfaction to all large

 able Melon to grow. An excellent shipper and a splendid seller; 

 has deep green color, containing beautiful, bright crimson flesh 

 of delicious flavor, which makes it a quick and profitable seller.

 LUSCIOUS FAVORITE WATERMELON. 



LUSCIOUS FAVORITE WATERMELON. 



THIS magnificent Melon we introduce to our trade as being with- 

 out exception the most superior Watermelon ever placed in the 

 hands of growers. It is one of the earliest to ripen ; IT HAS NO 

 EQUAL AS A SHIPPING MELON; it is the most vigorous and pro- 

 ductive; it will grow more large, handsome, uniform Melons per acre 

 than any other Melon now known. The outer color is very bright, be- 

 ing a beautiful mottled light green. The rind is thin and tough, and 

 stands shipping perfectly; is an excellent keeper, and improves In qual- 

 ity after ripening. It has an attractive shape; flesh is a light vivid red 

 in color, and very solid, crisp, tender, melting and sweet. The flavor is 

 exquisite, possessing not only the ordinary sweetness, but a luscious 

 flavor 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 portray in these few lines. As a Melon for the 

 private home garden, it has no equal. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 1/4 Lb., 

 25c. 1/2 Lb., 40c. Lb., 75c. 5 Lbs., S3. 00. 



CULTURE OF WATERMELONS. 



Treat the same as Muskmelons, except that they should be planted S 

 to 10 feet apart, according to the varietj 7 . Light, sandy, loamy soil is 

 the best. 



Those Melon Seeds I got from you last Spring were the fjnesj S 

 I ever saw. Let me hear from you at once, 



Respectfully, ^
