Bolgiano’s Cold Mountain Spring Watermelons 
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 
rought 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.
