RUBY QOLD WflTERflELON. 
This is certainly the grandest of all the melons. It is entirely distinct 
from any other variety ever introduced. In shape it is about two and 
one-half feet long, and frequently weighs 'rom fiftv to sixtv pounds each, 
although the average weight is only about forty-five pounds. 
The flesh is solid, rich golden-yellow color, striped with pink and red ; 
generally appearing in the shape as shown bv illustration. It is far su- 
perior to any other melon in quality as well as in beauty, and possesses a 
sweet, luscious flavor which is found in no other variety. The flesh is 
very juicy and solid, ripening well to the rind, which is very thin. Mr. 
A. W. Smith, the originator of this wonderful melon, says it has no 
superior, and its beauty when sliced for the table cannot be 
described. The vines are strong, vigorous and exceedingly product- 
ive. If yon want one of the finest melons in the 
world, order at least one packet of Ruby Gold. 
Our seed is direct from the originator.
