POLLOCK'S NETTED ROCK CANTALOUPE 

 OK MONEY-MAKER. This melon was called to 

 our attention in 1007. The growers in Rocky 

 Ford have been trying to get a RUST PROOF 

 and BLIGHT PROOF MELON. It is distinct in 

 its markings, being almost entirely covered with 

 netting, slightly larger than the Rocky Ford; very 

 delicious in the spicy sweet cantaloupe flavor. 



This melon is fast becoming the leading cant a 

 loupe of the West as well as the Fast. The Colo- 

 rado Experimental station has taken it up and 

 recommends it to everyone. Rust proof and 

 blight proof and sweet. Our seed comes direct 

 from Pollock. Price LOc. per packet , >, lb., 30c; 

 1 lb.. $1.00.

imn.IVNoN BALTIMORE MTMH. ( WTU.OCI'E Our seed this season have been grown from the old original 

 stock seed. We sent the seed to our grower and directed him to plant the seed and take special care of the crop, which 

 he did. He says the crop was a fine one, and we feel 

 sure that persons growing Cantaloupes from this 

 seed will be more than pleased with the' crop. The 

 Baltimore Nutmeg is. as you all know, a large Green- 

 Flesh variety, sweet as sugar: in fact, the flavor is 

 that rich cantaloupe flavor which cannot be dupli- 

 cated in any other kind. Pkts.. 5 and 10c; ' i lb..
