(Green flesh). It gives me 
much pleasure to be able to 
‘| offer to my customers for the 
| first time, this grand extra 
| early solid net strain of Rocky 
| Ford. It has the heaviest, 
| thickest flesh and the small- 
<j] est seed cavity of all the 
| Rocky Ford muskmelons. 
The illustration is a repro- 
duction of a photograph. Its 
| oval shape is the same as the 
| Rocky Ford with asolid white 
netting. The average yield is 
over 250 crates per acre of A 
No. 1 shipping melons, fully 
) a third more than other sorts. 
} The extra thick green flesh 
| hase beautiful pinkish hue of 
| the most delicious quality, 
} and is one of the best blight 
| resisting melons ever pro- 
duced. It is a wonderful pro- 
1} ducer and a profitable mar- 
ket sort; a remarkably fine 
shipper. My seed is direct 
from headquarters, grown in 
POLLOCK’S SOLID ROCK MUSKMELON, Rocky Ford, Colorado.

Watter’s Solid Net

for the Last Three Years 
Last Year, from Southern Texas, I Had 
One Order, for a Grower’s Own 
Planting, for 400 Pounds 
(Green fiesh). Watter’s Solid Net sets 
a very heavy first crop, very nearly as 
early as the Pollock,-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 importance. Until 
Pollock’s was introduced in Rocky 
Ford,it was absolutely the earliest strain 
of Rocky Ford Melons, Furthermore, 
Watter’s produces melons of even size 
and shape, heavy green netting, very 
closely laced and very slightly ribbed. 
The thick flesh is light green, spicy 
and sweet. My stock of Watter’s Solid 
Net is direct from headquarters, grown 
for me the same as Pollock’s, in Rocky 
Ford, Colorado, by the very best grow- 
ers there. IMPROVED WATTER’S SOLID NET ROCKY FORD MUSKMELON. { 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50.
