GENUINE ROCKY FORD MELON 



In the past few yeara Colorado ha8 developed into a great melon-growing State. It is estimated 

 that over 4,000 acres are planted in melons, 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 improve- 

 ment on and 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. Our selected strain of this celebrated melon is unequalled. Price, pkt,
