 Perfection 



Unsurpassed for Home 

 Garden or Market

 cf this variety from the illustration 

 shown at lett. The color of the skin is a 

 rich deep green. The fruits are well 

 ribbed and thickly netted, while the 

 flesh is a rich salmon. The large melons 

 are nearly all flesh, the seed cavity 

 being very small, hardly large enough to 

 accommodate the seeds. In flavor it is 

 simply unexcelled, and certainly justi- 

 fies its name. Unsurpassed for the home 

 garden and for market. Pkt. 10c;
