SELECTED ROCKY POED, THE GREAT OOLOBADO SHIPPING MELON, CELEBRATED FOR ITS REMARKABLY FINE QUALITY. 



GENUINE ROCKY FORD MELON 



JOHNSON & STOKES' SELECTED STRAIN 



In the past few years Colorado has developed into a great melon-growing State. It is estimated 

 that over 4,000 acres were planted in 1903, which were shipped, reaching almost every large city in 

 the United States, where they were placed on sale as the choicest fruits in the most fashionable 

 markets, always realizing handsome profits, owing to their fine quality and appearance. They are an 

 improvement on anil differ from the old "Netted Gem" in being a little more oblong in shape and 

 possessing much better shipping and keeping qualities, and are unquestionably one of the best second 

 early green fleshed melons in existence. Owing to the growing popularity of this melon, much spurious 

 seed is being offered at low prices, and we warn our customers to beware of such. Our selected 

 .strain of this celebrated melon is unequalled. In addition to selected seed of our own growing, we also 

 offer thoroughbred Beed grown and selected in Colorado, so that our customers can take their choice. 

 Prices of either: Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; Jib., 30c.; lb., $1.00, postpaid; by express, lb., 90c.; 5 lbs. and 

 over, 80c. per lb.

Originated by Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who claims it to be the best that can be grown for family 

 use and home market. In our trials the past two seasons we have found it fully equal in delicious flavor 

 to the celebrated Kleckley Sweets Watermelon, but better and more uniform in color and shape, being 

 free from any tendency to "neck." The vines also grow stronger and are much more prolific. Not- 

 withstanding its Southern origin, they ripen quite early. Lovers of fine melons will make no mistake 

 in planting Halbert Honey. Pkt.. lOc: oz,, 20c.; } lb 50c.; lb., $1.50.
