Steckler’s Monarch,

shipping melon yet produced. Similar in 
shape to Tom Watson only longer and 
thicker. A large, solid, firm, crisp flesh 
melon that will carry to any market and 
keep well; color is dark green with darker 
bands of black green, uniform color and 
melons cut big hearts with few seed. Seed 
are both black and white with dark rim or 
eye. Very prolific and averages more large 
melons than any other varieties and 
weighs heavier. It is no trouble to grow 
70 to 80 pound melons from this seed and 
while the rind is thick, which makes it 
the best long distance shipping melon, the 
melon itself is so large that the thick rind 
wraps up more heart than other melons, 
rind and all. Packet, 10c.; oz., 15c.; %4 Ihb., 
40c.; lb., $1.50, postpaid.

valuable melon, the productiveness is won-

melons under the same conditions than 
any other variety, the eating quality is all 
that could be desired in a watermelon, the 
sparkling red flesh is very sweet and en- 
tirely free from hard centers or stringi- 
ness, yet the flesh is very firm and 
compact and will not break when sliced. 
The size is uniformly large, color of rind 
yellowish grey and almost as tough as 
that of the Citron, ripens earlier than Tom 
Watson and will keep in good condition 
for a long time after picking and stand 
long distance shipping. Packet, 10c.; oz., 
15c.; 44 Ib., 40c.; 1b., $1.25, postpaid.
