C « pprif I a Orv ^The earliest large variety 
lL,\JKlt\t\U. g^gy introduced. Without 
doubt the beet melon for early marketing. For yield 
and earlincss combined, no varictj' we have eVcr prown 
can equal Safeguard. It is not so productive as* our Ice 
Kin^, but on account of its earliness is a much better 
variety for gardeners who grow for the early markets. 
In addition to its earlincss and yield, the tough skin en- 
ables it to withstand almost an^ amount of rough hand- 
ling. Our illustration is a correct representation of 
this splendid melon and shows the depth of the skin, 
which is not thick but exceedingly tough. Thefiesh 
is a rich pink, crisp, tender and very sweet. For 
home use it is a most desirable variety, as it will furnish 
melons earlier in the season than any other sort. You 
will make a mistake if you do not give it a place in 
your garden this year. Pkt. 15c, 2 pkts. 25o, oz- 35o,

of peas and h'ghl? reconimended by J. H. Allan, one of the largest growers of peas in America.

The longest keeping, finest flavored melon in the world. A most valuable variety which 
, ^. J .„.,.., , originally came from the Sandwich Islands. The melons are almost solid, as shown in our illus- 
tration, and will weigh about twice as much as any other variety of the same size. The wonderful fragrance and delicious pineapple flavor 
makes It the finest ofall melons for either private or market purposes. Unlike all other kinds it does not ripen on the vine, but should
