CAXTTAIOUFX:. 



ROCKY FORD MELON 



This has become one of the most popular of small or basket 

 melons, largely owing to the fact that grovrsrs in the Bocky 

 Pord region pack and ship their fruit in a most attractive 

 manner. The fruit is oval, slightly ribbed, densely covered 

 with coarse netting. Flesh thick, green, very sweet and high- 

 flavored. 



We have an exceptionally fine stock of this variety grown 

 from cVioice selected specimens. Pkt., Sc. Oz., 10c. lb.,

Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe 



The Old Standard Variety Tbat Has Found Favor 

 Wberever Grown. 



The stock seed of this splendid melon was secured from a 

 trucker who enjoys? the reputation for raising the finest Canta- 

 loupes that come to the Baltimore market. The writer also 

 tested the fruit, and found it to be of excellent flavor. It is 

 green-fleshed, and the rind is handsomely netted. It is well 

 known and popvUar with the truckers and market gardeners 

 of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other places; in fact, 

 it is a leading sort all over the country. Fkt., 5c. Oz., lOc

nVIPBOVED JEITN7 XiIND. 



A small, early variety of surpassing good quality, highly 

 recommended for family garden. We consider this the most 

 delicious Cantaloupe we have ever eaten, and while the fruit 

 is small, it is an abundant bearer. A market gardener having 

 this sort for sale would in a short time have no difficulty in 

 flispoping of all he could raise. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. 14 lb., 25c.
