171. Several years ago we were spending our vacation in the moun- 

 tains; 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 shipped us several samples; these came on boat 

 to Baltimore 100 miles, then on the railroad through the mountains 250 

 miles, reaching us in perfect condition after traveling 350 miles through 

 rough country and roughly handled. These melons attracted the atten- 

 tion of everyone by their beautiful, deep-green color, stately size and ex- 

 cellent 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 Water- 

 melon is a winner as a shipper, as a table melon and as a Money-Maker. 

 Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the seed produced by the 

 originator, so order immediately. Pkts. 5 and 10c. Oz. 10c. M Lb. 20c.

The New "Excel" Watermelon

 melon with visible stripes, the most handsome melon ever introduced. It possesses every quality essential to make it the greatest melon ever grown
