364 Improved 

 Walter's 

 Solid Net 



The Earliest of All 

 Rocky Fords 



The Money Maker in 

 Colorado and Along 

 the Rio Grande 



(Green flesh.) Walter's Solid 

 Net sets a very heavy first 

 crop, and is several days ear- 

 lier than Pollock's Solid Rock 

 so that in a few days after the 

 fijst ripe melons, heavy pick- 

 ings are in order for the next 

 two or three weeks. It is a 

 most valuable sort to 

 plant where first melons on 

 the market are of great im- 

 portance; and has made the 

 best record for money returns 

 on account of its early matur- 

 ity. Furthermore, Walter's 

 produces melons of even size 

 and shape, heavy green net- 

 ting, very closely laced and 

 very slightly ribbed. The 

 thick flesh is light green, spicy 

 and sweet. My stock of Wal- 

 ter's Solid Net is direct from 

 headquarters, grown for mf- 

 the same as Pollock's, in 

 Rocky Ford, Colorado, by the 

 very best growers there.

Pollock's Solid 

 Rock Muskmelon 



Wonderful Shipper 

 A Great Favorite in the South 



A green fleshed variety of the most 

 exquisite quality. The handsomest, best 

 netted and most profitable early melon 

 in existence for market gardeners and 

 shippers. The finest rust resisting melon 

 on the market. 



(Green flesh.) It gives me much 

 pleasure to be able to offer to my cus- 

 tomers this grand early solid net strain 

 of Rocky Ford. It has the heaviest, 

 thickest flesh and the smallest seed 

 cavity of all the Rocky Ford musk- 

 melons. The illustration is a repro- 

 duction of a photograph. Its oval 

 shape is the same as the Rocky Ford 

 with a solid white netting. The aver- 

 age yield is over 250 crates per acre of 

 A No. 1 shipping melons, fully a third 

 more than other sorts. The extra thick 

 green flesh has a beautiful pinkish hue 

 of the most delicious quality, aud is 

 one of the best rust resisting melons 

 ever produced. It is a wonderful pro- 

 ducer and a profitable market sort; a 

 remarkably fine shipper. My seed is 

 direct from headquarters, grown in 

 Rocky Ford, Colorado.
