  These 
  beautiful 
  melons 
  will 
  average 
  around 
  50 
  pounds; 
  an 
  SO-pound 
  melon 
  can 
  often 
  be 
  found. 
  Its 
  attractive 
  rich 
  dark 
  

   green

  quickly 
  proves 
  to 
  the 
  experienced 
  market 
  man 
  its 
  excellent

  qualifications. 
  Its 
  wonderful 
  productiveness 
  and 
  

   giant 
  size 
  quickly 
  indicates 
  its 
  ability 
  to 
  produce 
  handsome 
  profits. 
  As 
  a 
  shipper 
  it 
  rivals 
  the 
  Kolb 
  Gem, 
  even 
  surpassing 
  this 
  old 
  

   standard 
  variety 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  it 
  speculiarly 
  tough 
  skin 
  and 
  rind. 
  This 
  new 
  Watermelon 
  is 
  unquestionably 
  destined 
  to 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   greatest 
  leaders 
  and 
  most 
  popular 
  Melons 
  ever 
  developed 
  and 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  growers 
  and 
  shippers' 
  hands; 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  this

  also 
  it

  "Goliath" 
  is

  as 
  follows: 
  I 
  claim 
  that 
  Bolgiano's 
  Cold 
  Mountain 
  Spring 
  Watermelon 
  Seed 
  is 
  the 
  

   best

  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 
  results 
  of 
  his 
  efforts 
  had 
  gone 
  far 
  beyond 
  anything 
  he 
  had 
  ever 
  hoped 
  to 
  produce. 
  Were 
  we 
  interested? 
  He 
  

   shipper 
  us 
  several 
  samples, 
  these 
  came 
  on 
  boat 
  to 
  Baltimore 
  100 
  miles, 
  then 
  on 
  the 
  railroad 
  through 
  the 
  mountains 
  250 
  miles. 
  Reach- 
  

   ing 
  us 
  in 
  perfect 
  condition 
  after 
  traveling 
  3 
  50 
  miles, 
  through 
  rough 
  country 
  and 
  roughly 
  handled. 
  These 
  Melons 
  attracted 
  the 
  

   attention 
  of 
  every 
  one 
  by 
  their 
  beautiful 
  deep 
  green 
  color, 
  stately 
  size 
  and 
  excellent 
  shape. 
  We 
  had 
  them 
  on 
  exhibition, 
  then 
  took 
  

   them 
  with 
  us 
  back 
  into 
  the 
  mountains. 
  We 
  put 
  the 
  melons 
  in 
  a 
  Cold 
  Mountain 
  Spring 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  hours 
  we 
  cut 
  them. 
  The 
  Melons 
  

   were 
  in 
  perfect 
  condition. 
  "Red 
  to 
  the 
  Rind," 
  and 
  entirely 
  free 
  from 
  stringiness. 
  We 
  immediately 
  inspected 
  and 
  purchased 
  the 
  crop. 
  

   The 
  Cold 
  Mountain 
  Spring 
  Watermelon 
  is 
  a 
  winner 
  as 
  a 
  shipper, 
  as 
  a 
  table 
  melon 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  Money 
  Maker. 
  Our 
  supply 
  of

  is 
  

   necessarily 
  limited,

  In

  a 
  decidedly 
  

   good

  directly 
  from 
  the

   the

   attractive
