QqI^'j Earlv. I^'P^"s delicious Melons in northern states, 

 where Melons never matured before. Just as 

 valuable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks be- 

 fore any other. The beautiful, bright red flesh is crisp and of deli- 

 cate 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 

 qualitv of which is sustained clear to the rind. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15
