 is thin but tough. The flesh is a bright attractive red. The flavor is delicious, sweet and satisfying. It is very productive, a perfect shipper, 

 the quickest and best seller that has ever been placed on any market. As a table melon it always brings repeat orders. In fact as a first class 

 melon it is ideal. Seed is limited, demand will be heavy, so order quick. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 25c. % Lb. 65c. Lb. $2.50. 



171 - Rrklo-ianr/c CrAA Mrmntnin Sr»fincr ^A/a t«»rm <»1 r»n New Variety. Several years ago we were spending our va- 



OOlgianO S ^OlCl mountain spring W atermeiOn. ^^^ in the Mountains: 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 result of his efforts had gone far "eyond 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 railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching us in 

 perfect condition after traveling 350 miles, through rough country and roughly handled. These melons attracted the attention of everyone by 

 their beautiful deep green color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them on exhibition, then took them with us back into the mountains. 

 We put the Melons in a Cold Mountain Spring'i and in a few hours we cut them. The Melons were_ in a perfect condition, "Red to the Rind." 

 and entirely free from stringiness. We immediately inspected the crop. The Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon is a winner as a shipper, 

 as a table Melon and as a Monev Maker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and only the seed produced by the originator, so order imme- 

 diately. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 15c. Vi I.b. 35c. V 2 Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00.

 weather than the New York Improved. The hot

 we know of. It grows from 3 to 4 feet high, erect 

 and sturdy, free from thorns Fruit is large, ob- 

 long in shape and rurple. trough not so deep a 

 color as the New \crk Improved. It resists 

 drought and wet weather to a wonderful degree,

 cumstances. It is of a large size, first-class shape
