New "Sweet Air" Cantaloupe 



Extra Early — Superb Green Fleshed, Uniform 

 Shape and Indescribably Delicious Ta^e, 

 With a Remarkable Aroma 



The Test Which Proves Its Merits. 



This superb green fleshed Muskmelon has, for four successive years, broken all records, sell- 

 ing without regard to market conditions for other melons at Norfolk, Va., as well as on its native 

 soil of Maryland, where it has enjoyed a wonderful local reputation. In quality, it quite out 

 classes all other green flesh.ed melons, having a taste that is indescribably delicious with a remark- 

 able aroma. 



While this melon has had a wonderful reputation around Norfolk and Baltimore markets, it 

 fully deserves to be known over a wider territory. 



They grow very uniform in shape and size, averaging about nine inches in length, from stem 

 to blossom, and six to seven inches in the other direction; handsomely netted, very thick meat, as 

 shown in the photograph above. 



Every Melon grower is to be congratulated who plants a crop of this magnificent Melon, as 

 they will be sure to please the grower, the merchant to whom they are sold, and the family for 

 table use. Price, Pkt. 5c.; oz., lOc; ^A lh., 35c.; pound, $1.25. 



Tom Watson Watermelon 



FRUIT VERY LARGE, MOTTLED GREEN COLOR, TOUGH RIND, FLESH 

 BRILLIANT SCARLET, FLAVOR MOST DELICIOUS 



A good market ]vIelon of oblong shape. It was introduced several seasons ago, and has been 

 quite extensively tried so that it has passed its period of experiment. The fruit is very large, 

 many Melons weighing 50 to 60 pounds and measuring 18 to 24 inches in length. Its rind is very 

 thin but exceedingly tough, and on this account it is one of the very best shipping varieties. The 

 skin is a dark mottled green, while the flesh is a brilliant scarlet, and the heart is very large with 

 a small seed area. The flavor is most delicious and refreshing. Besides being a good shipping 

 variety, it is equally adapted for home use. Price, pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 25c.; pound, 75c.
