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