Gipsy, or Rattlesnake. 



^Qlg'g Early Ripens dehcious Melons in northern states, 

 * where Melons never matured before. Just as val- 

 uable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks before 

 any other. This is the finest Watermelon 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 Early is not only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it 

 continues to bear throughout the season. The beautiful bright red 

 flesh is crisp and of delicate texture — granulated, cool and spark- 

 ling. 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 northern 

 states when the season is as long as that of New York. Pkt. 6 cts.,
