New Muskmelon, Johnson's Ringleader 



A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE BEST. SEE BACK OF THIS BOOK 



This new melon originated in the famous melon-growing district of Southern Xew Jersey, and has surely 

 proven a revelation in cantaloupes. It- sweet, rich, thick, green flesh, uniform and handsome appearance, 

 as shown in our photograph above, are unsurpassed by any other early, large or medium-sized melons. 

 It is a fine shipper, and its blight and rust-resisting qualities are really wonderful. Seed was offered for 

 sale last season for the first time. Pkt., 15c; oz., 35c; % lb., Si.oo; lb., S3->o.
