THERE is a difference in the stocks of the Rocky Eord Melons that are being placed in the truckers' hands, and that difference is most severely 

 felt when the trucker places his so-called Rockv Ford stock on the market alongside of some of Bolgiano's true, handsome, most delicionsly 

 flavored Stock. It does not then need the eye of an expert to discern the difference, for the one presents regularity of form, uniformly 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. You may have been fooled elsewhere. 

 You do not under any circumstances, want to lose your future opportunities of making compensating prices from the sale of this world-renowned 

 Melon. But you do want to plant the real true stock from Bolgiano of Baltimore, who can send it direct to you, no matter where you live. Our 

 crop has been a large one this year, and we are willing that you shall share with us the benefit of Nature's blessings, and are therefore making the 

 price reasonable, so everyone who sees this can have no excuse for planting poor mixed stock. 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, 1 Oz. 10c,
