A most Delicious and Productive Variety for the Family Garden, 
succeeding in Northern States, where Melons 
were never matured before. 
OLH’S BARLY is positively the finest ‘‘ all-round ” Watermelon 
in existence, and for the private family garden it is without a 
peer. People, particularly in our Northern States, who have 
never before been able to grow this most nectareous of fruits, 
can now enjoy from the beginning to the clos of the season the 
most delicious of all Watermelons, for COLH’S EARLY is not 
only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it continues to bear 
most bountifully throughout the entire season. The flesh is of 
a beautiful bright red color, crisp, and extremely delicate in tex- 
ture—that granulated, cool, sparkling appearance that is so cap- 
tivating to the eye; in flavor it is lusciously sweet and refresh- 
ing, no pithiness or stringiness. The Melons are not large, 
seldom over 12 inches in length by 9 inches in diameter, but what 
they lack in size is more than made up in number 
and solidity. The heart is unusually large; there 
is little or no cavity, and very few seeds—all solid 
flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to the 
rind. It can be grown, and successfully, too, over 
a larger latitude than any other Watermelon, and it 
will invariably mature large crops in any of the 
Northern States when the season is as long as that 
of New York. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. 0z., 30c. 14

“T have been successful in growing Cole's Early Watermelon 
in my garden on the summit ofthe Shawangunk Mountains, at 
a measured elevation of 1,875 feet above sea-level. The melons 
matured, and were Superior in flavor and sweetness to anything 
in the market. No melons were ever before matured in this 
neighborhood.’—Mr. C. W. DURHAM, of 110 West 27th Street, 
New York City. 
“Cole's Early Watermelon has attracted universal admira- 
tion. It has hitherto been considered impossible to ripen water- 
melons in Santa Fé, at an altitude of over 7,000 feet above-sea- 
Jeyel, on account of the comparatively short summer here and 
cool nights, the thermometer never averaging Over 60° at night 
even during July and August. From the package of seed 1 
grew fifteen hills, that bore some sixty melons weighing from 
eight to fourteen pounds, and not a single melon failed to 
ripen fully, and several persons who tried them were unanimous 
in pronouncing them sweet, juicy and delicious, far superior 
to the big coarse melons we get from the South; on account 
of their thin rind, they contain as much flesh as the big melons 
shipped here which weigh (gross) nearly double the weight of 
Cole's. I am informed that these melons were the only ones 
successfully raised in this place.’’—J. F. WIELANDY, Santa Fé, 
New Mexico.
