Rocky Ford Cantaloupe 
16. Without a single exception the Biggest 
Money-Making Melon ever offered. Two weeks earlier, 
alittle larger, twice as productive as Rocky Ford. More 
thoroughly and deeply netted. Rust and Blight Proof. 
Packs in crates better and carries better than any other 
Melon. This Greatest of Money-Making Cantaloupe 
had for its parents two exceptionally fine stocks of 
Rocky Ford Melons. It has been bred up by our ex- 
pert growers to be entirely blight and rust proof. 
“Junior” is a wonderfully prolific “yielder, single plants 
producing as high as 16 fine melons. It will develop 
shipping fruit ten days to two weeks before the Rocky 
Ford. In form itis ideal, being just the right shape to 
pack to best advantage into crates. In size it is little 
larger than the regular Rocky Ford. Its netting is 
close and deep, thoroughly covering the melon, pro- 
tecting its keeping and shipping qualities and lessening 
the loss of weight from evaporation. In quality it is 
most deliciously sweet and spicy, creating a largely 
increased demand on account of these excellent points. 
The seed cavity is very small and well-filled with seed, 
the attractive, green flesh is thick, smooth and firm, 
combining together to make it the best melon for carry- 
ing long distances that the srower, has ever ed. Pkt.

On December 1, Mr. S. B. Souter, of Marion Co., Fla. writes: ‘‘We 
did not have more than a splatter of rain in 3 months, but‘ Junior Rocky Ford’ 
slood it extremely well and made as much as five limes as many crales per acre 
as some of my neighbors with other kinds.”

51. Did you ever eat anything so exceptionally delicious, the very 
pleasant memory of it often comes back to you? That’ s what will happen 
if you once eat one of Bolgiano’s New “Melting Gold”’ Cantaloupes. The

is thick, very tender and of a beautiful, deep-golden color; it ripens close 
to the skin, the thin rind is of a rich, dark- -green color contrasting attrac- 
tively with the deep golden flesh, which is so deliciously sweet and tender. 
The melons are well ribbed and covered with a grayish netting they are 
6 to 7 inches long by 414 to 5inchesi in diameter. “‘ Melting Gold” Canta- 
loupe is an excellent shipper and it is so good that the Eastern Markets

“Junior”? Rocky Ford Cantaloupe 
New “Knight” or Maryland Cantaloupe 
337. This superb green-fleshed Muskmelon has for five successive 
years broken all records, selling without regard to market conditions for 
other melons at Norfolk, Va., as well as here in Maryland, where it has a 
wonderful reputation. In quality, it quite outclasses all other green- 
fleshed melons, having a taste that is indescribably delicious with a remark- 
able aroma. While this melon has had a wonderful reputation around 
Baltimore and Norfolk markets, it fully deserves to be known over a wider 
territory. It is slightly pointed at the stem end, while being rather 
blunted at the blossom end. They grow uniform in shape and size, averag- 
ing about six inches in length from stem to blossom, and 41% to 5 inches the 
other direction; handsomely netted, very thick meat. Every melon grower 
is to be congratulated who grows a crop of this magnificent melon. Pkt.

Watters Solid Net Rocky Ford Cantaloupe 
207. This is one of the earliest strains of Rocky Ford Cantaloupes. 
About 90 per cent of the melons are solid net. This variety set a heavy 
first crop, so that within a few days after the first melons are ripe, large num- 
bers ripen and heavy pickings can thus be made at a remarkably early 
time. These melons average about 90 per cent standard size to pack 45 
to the crate, 12x 12x 24inches. Itis the most valuable sort to plant where 
first in the market is of great importance. The heavy gray netting is 
closely laced. The meat light green, spicy and sweet. This varicty is in 
great. demand by many of the most successful market growers and shippers.
