MELONS A SPECIALTY. 



We desire to call attention to our very superior stock of melon 

 seeds, which are grown for us with great care, by difl'erent growei'S, 

 widely apart, to insure a pure article. Our stock must not be 

 classed with the cheap mixed sorts, usually the odds and end 

 savings, and refuse of the patch, unfit for market, but is saved 

 from all the finest ripe melons. Melon growers can theiefore 

 rely on our stock.
