(Green flesh.) Walter's Solid 

 Net sets a very heavy first 

 crop,so that In a few days after 

 the first ripe melons, heavy 

 pickings are in order for the 

 next two or three weeks. It Is 

 a most valuable sort to 

 plant -where first melons on 

 the market are of great im- 

 portance, and has made the 

 best record for money returns 

 on account of its early matur- 

 ity. Furthermore, Walter's 

 produces melons of even size 

 and shape. The well devel- 

 oped gray and green netting 

 is very closely laced. The 

 thick flesh is light green, spicy 

 and sweet. It germinates a 

 verj- vigorous plant that sets 

 fruit early and matures its 

 crop in about 65 days. The 

 large yield of early canta- 

 loupes, when prices average 

 high, is the strong point in 

 favor of this strain. The il- 

 lustration is a reproduction 

 of a photograph. Our stock is 

 direct from headquarters.
