 ductive, and of unsurpassed flavor. Per quart, 75 cents.

 large and compact, white at the . centre, crisp and tender. Per ounce, 30 cents ; per

Phinney's Early Water-Melon. — This is a valuable addition to our list of Melons. 

 It is of a dark crimson color, very compact, has a thin rind, and is of delicious flavor. 

 It is early, very productive, and keeps well, thiis beiug particularly valuable for market. 

 Per ounce , 30 cents ; per pound, $3.

 fine flavor. Three and a-half feet high. Per packet, 25 cents ; per quart $1.25.
