BOLGIAIMO'S "JUNIOR" ROCKY FORD CANTALOUPE. 



16. An absolutely new Cantaloupe, don't be deceived in the name. We have named this Great Cantaloupe, "junior" Rocky Ford, so 

 that our customers, who grow melons, might have some general idea of the New Melon. Two weeks earlier in maturing', and a 

 little larger than the Old Rocky Ford, and Twice as productive, retaining all the Fine Qualities of the Parent Stock. It is deeply 

 netted and has a small seed cavity. It is without a single exception the Biggest Money Making Melon ever offered. Our supply of Seed 

 s extremely limited, so if you want any don't delay a moment. Price, PKt. 10c. S 25c. Oz. 40c. 2 Oz. 65c. % lb. $1.25. '. lb. $2.50 1 lb. $5.00.

12 Strong Points for which Our StocK is Famous. 

 1. Size same as the picture. 



Netting' well defined and deep. 



Blossom-end well protected withasmall button. 



Ten distinct ribs. 



- 5. No netting" across the space be- 

 tween the ribs. 



6. The space between the ribs well 

 defined from stem to blossom button, 

 but not too wide to weaken the melon. 



7. When cut, flesh is green, chang- 

 ing VERY SLIGHTLY toward yellow 

 at center. 



8. Flesh very deep, so as to leave a 

 small seed cavity. 



9. Flesh fine grained. 



10. Our seed is saved from the finest 

 melons of the first picking. 



11. Each individual melon is cut 

 open by hand, and carefully inspected 

 both inside and out. 



12. Last, but not least, it is an excel- 

 lent shipper, having' deep flesh at the 

 blossom end. The blosson end in many 

 other strains is a very weak point. 



Purest and Best Strain grown. 



157. There is a difference in the stocks 

 of the Rocky Ford Melons that are being 

 placed in the truckers' hands, and that dif- 

 ference is most severely felt when the 

 trucker places his so-called Rocky Ford 

 stock on the market alongside of some of 

 Bolgiano'stru'?, handsome, most delicious- 

 ly flavored stock. It does not need the eye 

 of an expert to discern the difference, for 

 the one presents regularity of form, uni- 

 formity of size, each Melon cut proving the 

 parent luscious stock; and the huckster, 

 shipper, commission merchant, fruiterer, 

 hotel-keeper, quickly purchase this stock, 

 knowing that they never have trouble selling at good 

 prices a Melon of such trueness and quality. Bolgiano of 

 Baltimore can send it direct to you, no matter where you 

 live. It is impossible to secure truer, better stock, even 

 if you pay five times the price we ask. We await your 

 order, and shall take pleasure in promptly filling the 

 same. PKt. 5c. Oz. 10c. 1/4 Lb. 15c. 1/2 Lb. 25c.
