The Sweetest of all; a Vigorous Grower and Exceedingly Productive 



Here we have an entirely distinct variety that is sure to excite the admiration of all lovers of fine watermelons. It is 

 lot only of superb flavor, but is all its name implies. Solid as a cannon ball, and while it has a thin rind, the skin is 

 irm, consequently making it a good shipper. Seeds are about the same size as apple seeds ; but, not withstanding this fact, 

 he average weight of the melon is 30 to 40 pounds. The shape, which runs uniform, is well shown in illustration. Every 

 me of our customers who grow watermelons should make a trial of Panmure All-Heart this season, as it is sure to please tbe 

 nost exacting. We cannot recommend Panmure All-Heart too highly for home or market use.

 popular elsewhere when more generally known. The melons are

 ferred on account of its sweetness and large size.

«9 Apple Pie Citron Melon 



Excellent for Preserving or Stock Feeding 



This citron melon has fruit very similar to the watermelon 

 but the flesh is used exclusively for sauces, pies and preserving, 

 etc., having a most delicious flavor, resembling somewhat 

 the flavor of apples. The flesh is white and solid. Each vine 

 produces 5 to 15 melons so filled with fruit that a large sized 

 one will make as many pies as a half bushel of apples. They 

 keep fresh and solid all winter, so can be used when wanted, 

 and owing to their value as stock food, any surplus not used 

 for home cooking can be fed all winter to stock. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 centss 

 pound, $1.25, postpaid.
