Hrtti^v Dow 150 Days* Tnis melon is suitable for cultivation in the warmer lati- 

 Mnviicy LJCW. tudes and usually does not mature in the latitude of Philadelphia 

 unless started under glass and transplanted. Although this melon has only been on the 

 market since 1915 in this country, it is not a new variety, having been brought over from 

 Europe where it is known as White Antibes Winter. Its remarkable popularity is due to 

 its exquisite flavor. We believe with proper attention market gardeners will find this a 

 money-making crop. Please note that we list both the Golden and the Green strains.
