Cole's Early "Watermelon 



Ripens delicious Melons in Northern States, where Melons never 

 matured before. Just as valuable for middle and southern states, 

 ripening Melons weeks before any other. This is the finest Water- 

 melon for the family garden. People, particularly in our northern 

 states, can now enjoy, from the beginning to the close of the season, 

 most delicious Watermelons, for Cole's Karly is not only the earliest 

 variety in cultivation, but it continues Ui bear throughout the sea- 

 son. The beautiful bright red flesh is crisp and of delicate texture — 

 granulated, cool and sparkling. In flavor it is lusciously sweet and 

 refreshing. The Melons are not large, seldom over 12 inches in 

 length by 9 inches in diameter, but what they lack in size is more 

 than made up in number and solidity. The heart is large, there is 

 little or no cavity, and very few seeds — all solid flesh, the quality of 

 which is sustained clear to the rind. It can be grown successfully 

 over a larger latitude than any other Watermelon, and it will mature 

 large crops in Nortliern States when the season is as long as that of 

 New York. Pkt. lo cts., oz. 15 cts., ^Ib. 35 cts., lb. $1.
