North Rivals South With Cole's Early 



367 If you have failed with other sorts you can succeed with

 primarily so on account of its extreme earliness, but mainly be- 

 cause it has all the qualities necessary to a perfect variety for 

 this purpose. 



It is good in every respect, producing a liberal crop of Melons 

 12 inches long and 9 inches in diameter, not large but in abund- 

 ance and of delicious quality. The deep red fine-grained fiesh
