1. Size same as the picture. 



2. Netting well denned and deep. 



3. Blossom-end well protected with a small 

 button. 



4. Ten distinct ribs. 



5. No netting across the space between the 

 ribs. 



6. The space between the ribs well defined 

 from stem to blossom button, but not 

 too wide to weaKen the melon. 



When cut, flesh is green, changing VERY 

 SLIGHTLY toward yellow at centre.

Oz. to 60 Hills, 

 2 Lbs. to Acre. 

 OUR STOCK IS FAMOUS. 



Flesh very deep so as to leave a small 

 seed cavity. 



Flesh fine grained. 



Our seed is saved from the finest melons 

 of the first picking'. 

 Each individual melon is cut open by 

 hand, and carefully inspected both in- 

 side and out. 



Last, but not least, it is an excellent 

 shipper, having deep flesh at the blos- 

 som end. The blossom end in many 

 other strains is a very weak point. 



157. There is a difference in the stocks of the Rocky Ford Melons that are being placed in the truckers, 

 hands, and that difference is most severely felt when the trucker places his so-called Rocky Ford stock 

 on the market alongside of some of Bolgiano's true, handsome, most deliciously flavored stock. It 

 does not then need the eye of an expert to discern the difference, for the one presents regularity of 

 form, uniformity of size, each Melon cut proving the parent luscious stock : and the huckster, shipper, 

 commission merchant, fruiterer, hotel-keeper, quickly purchase this stock, knowing that they never 

 have the trouble selling at good prices a Melon of such trueness and quality. You may have been fool- 

 ed elsewhere. You do not under any circumstances, want to lose your future opportunities of making 

 compensating prices from the sale of this world renowned Melon. But you do want to plant the real 

 true stock from Bolgiano of Baltimore, who can send it direct to you, no matter where you live. Our 

 crop has been a large one this year, and we are willing that you shall share with us the benefit of 

 Nature's blessings, and are therefore making the price reasonable, so everyone who sees this can have 

 no excuse for plauting poor mixed stock. It is impossible to secure truer, better stock, even if you 

 pav five times the price we ask. We await your order, and shall take pleasure in promptly filling the 

 same. PKt. 5c, Oz. 10c, 1/4 Lb. 15c, 1/2 Lb. 25c, Lb. 50c, Write for Special Prices in Large
