“The Banquet.” = MELONS 
This superb melon represents years of careful selection and im- 
provement of a stock of Musk Melon at the hands ‘of the largest 
and most experienced grower of melons in the world. The raiser 
regards it as his greatest production and likely to supersede all 
other red-fleshed melons. ‘‘The Banquet” is a medium-sized 
melon, flat at both ends and more beautifully netted than any 
known yariety. In quality it has no equal; the flesh is uniformly 
deep and of that granulated character that always indicates a good 
melon; the color is a dark rich salmon. It will produce more fine 
edible melons to a given area than any other variety. (See cut.)

The Spawn we offer is made especially for us three or four times each season, 
and is always fresh and in proper condition for planting. Mushrooms produce a 
most profitable crop when successfully grown, andthe American market is the best 
in the world for this most delicious of foods. Although ‘‘Mushroom Growing” is 
one of the simplest and most money-making of industries, it is comparatively 
unknown in most localities. We shall be pleased to mail free to all pur- 
chasers of spawn our leaflet on ‘‘ Mushroom Culture ” if requested.

Prench. The French is in much more concentrated form than the

flavor. (See cut.) In boxes of 2 lbs. 75c., by mail, 95c.
