-The cut below is from a photograph taken from a sample lot of BALTIMORE 

 NUTMEG CANTALOUPES gathered from the field where our seed was 

 grown, and is a fair representation of the whole crop. The stock seed of this 

 splendid melon was secured from a trucker who enjoys the reputation for raising the finest cantaloupes that come to the Raltimore market. 

 Ill passing through the fields iusiiecting the crops we were surprised at the uniformity in the shape and size of the fruit. 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 popular with the 

 truckei-s and market gardeners of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other places; in fact, it is a leading sort all over the country.

IMPROVED JENNY LIND.- 



A small, early variety of sur- 

 passing good (juality, highly 

 recommended for family gar- 

 den. We consider this the 

 most delicious cantalo\ipe we 

 have ever eaten, and while the 

 fruit is small, it is an abund- 

 ant bearer. A market garden- 

 er having this sort for sale 

 would in a short time have no 

 diiflculty in disposing of all he 

 could raise.
