BLACK DIAMOND. No other 



fariety produces melons so uni-

 prolific melon ever planted. Its 

 most distinctive property is its 

 color, which is a ricli dark green, 

 almost black, presenting a beauti- 

 ful glossy appearance— see illus- 

 tration; very uniform in shape.

 gave Black Diamond the prefer-

 sold in any quantity. No mistake 

 will be made by the market gar-
