SSS ot 
TRUE DARK ICING, Bii"ss'sr 
a thing into con- 
sideration, we think that there is no better 
melon than the True Dark Icing, except Iron- 
clad. In fiavor it is simply delicious, and cannot 
be excelled, in our opinion. It is very solid, rind 
very thin, and an excellent shipper. Itis round in 
form and white seeded. Having sold it by the 
hundreds of pounds for years, we have yet to hear 
from a customer who doesnot praise it. By pur- 
chasing the True Dark Ieing from us you will dis- 
cover you have secured a melon very hard to beat 
in all the points that go to make a perfect melon. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 ets.; 14 Ib., 50 ets.; Ib., $1.50; 
5 lbe., $6.25. 
J. ¥. Meline, Burnt Mills, Md. ‘‘ Your melon and 
cantaloupe seed I don’t think can be beat. Your Dark 
Icing is undoubtedly best of all, and Ihavetried many.” 
S. B. Smith & Sons, Market Gardeners, Marietta, O. 
“The seeds we purchased of you last Spring were the 
best that came into this section of country. We had 
three acres of your Dark Icing, and sold them in the 
patch for $300. We haye bought our seeds of you for 
three years and have had the ‘best watermelons in our 
neighborhood. Wefound all your seeds true to name.”
