BUCKBEE'S "Full of Life" WATER MELON SEED 



WASSER MELONE, German, MELON D'EAU, French; RANDIA, Spanish 



THE BEST WATER MELON EVER INTRODUCED 



The Sweetest Flavored Melon in the World 



THE BEST VARIETY — FOR THE TABLE, FOR SHIPPING AND LONG KEEPING 



A Popular Favorite Everjrwhere 



In hundreds of markets every season it finds ready sale at good prices when all other sorts go begging for buyers. This grandest of all varie- 

 ties has been extensively grow n the past few seasons in almost every melon growing locality of the world, and in not one single instance has it failed 

 to meet the expectations of the planter. The reports received from every section that all are delighted with it prove that in the hands of my cus- 

 tomers Buckbee's Monte Cristo has given the same surpassing results as my careful trials at Rockford Seed Farms. The greatest yielder. The sweet- 

 est, juiciest, crispest and most .solid Melon ever produced, never having a hollow or pithy center when ripe. The easiest to sell on the market, for 

 when once tried people will have no other. Many of my customers have written me the past year that they have cleared $100 or more per acre 

 by growing Buckbee's Monte Cristo Jlelons. Under average cultivation you can do as well or better. Will you not try it this year.. It is a grand, 

 good shipper, has a firm, solid rind, not too thick, yet will stand the most severe handling. The outside skin is of a rich, dark green color, sliaded 

 with faint stripes of a somewhat, lighter color. Certainly the finest appearing Melon ever grown for market, shipping or table purooses. While my 

 supply of seed is larger than ever before, 1 already have advance orders from my customers, who have planted Monte Cristo in past seasons, and I 

 would advise all who care to plant this "King of all Melons" in 1910 to place their orders as early as possible. Please remember that I conirol 

 the entire product of this variety, so send to Buckbee for choicest stock seed of Monte Cristo Melon." The price is within the reach of all.

J. W. Hudson, the Watermelon King, of Kahoka, jMo. : "I can 

 truly say the world can't beat Buclcbee's Monte Cristo Watermelon. 

 Its size, beautj- and o.uality make it the best seller."

 en the best Melon ever planted in this section " 



\\ . M. Thomas, Lost Creek, Ala., writes: "The King of all Melons" 

 is the verdict given Buciibee s Monte Crisio in this great melon grow- 

 ing sectioii."
