New Muskmelon No. 88 c"L Shippers' Delight 



A few years since, one of our customers in Illinois sent us a few seeds of this new melon for trial. We 

 ■were so much pleased with its fine qualitj- and handsome and peculiar shape, in each melon having a 

 button on the blossom end, that we last season distributed for advance trial among our customers : 0,000 

 packets. It would require every page of this book to publish all the favorable reports from it, and after 



looking them over, we can only arrive at one con- 

 clusion, and that is that it is one of the very best 

 early green-fleshed melons in cultivation. 



Our photograph above shows them up so well 

 that we think a detailed description unnecessary.

Black Boulder Watermelon 



See Photograph of Our Field on Front of this Book. 



For this grand new and distinct watermelon, 

 now offered for the first time, we are indebted to 

 Aaron Paul, the veteran melon grower of New 

 Jersey. Its uniform symmetrical shape and 'Won- 

 derful productiveness are shown in our field photo- 

 graph on front of this book, giving one the impres- 

 sion at a distance of a field of great boulders, from 

 its mammoth size and rich dark green, almost 

 black, color. It cuts equal to any melon we have 

 ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are superior 

 to Kolb Gem or Johnson's Dixie. We predict that 

 Black Boulders will outsell every other melon 

 whenever they appear on the markets the com- 

 ing summer.
