WATERMELON. 
In regard to the growth of this 
crop, the same may be said of 
these as of Musk Melon, they 
should be more largely grown 
in the North, as with the early 
varieties offered below and good 
rich soil a fine crop can be 
grown. These should be given 
more room than Musk Melons; 
6 to 8 feet would be about right. 
Cole’s Early. Absoluely the best 
and earliest variety for our 
Northern climate. The flesh 
is bright red, delicate in tex- 
ture while the flavor is 
equal to if not superior to 
the best of the improved 
southern varieties. The vines 
Cole’s Early. are vigorous and productive, 
producing good size melons 
with a thin rind. Our seed has been saved from the earliest and best 
fruits and has been grown in this Northern climate. 
Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts. 
Hungarian Honey Improved. An excellent variety that will easily mature 
its fruit in the North. The Melons grow nearly round in shape, skin 
dark green, flesh rich red with a delicious flavor, very sugary melting. 
While not large enough for market purposes, it is one of the best for 
home use on account of its quality. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; Vi lb., 30 cts. 
Kleckley’s Sweet. A good variety, unsurpassed for home use. The fruits 
are oval in form, dark green in color, with bright scarlet flesh and ex- 
ceedingly sweet. This variety is so crisp and tender it will not st'and 
shipping. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; V4 lb., 35 cts. 
Citron. A large fruiting strain for 
preserving; flesh white and sol- 
id. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; Vi 
lb., 25 cts. 
Fordhook Early. The earliest large 
meon, and as good or better 
than the large southern varie- 
ties; flesh bright red of fine 
flavor, and very sweet; color, 
plain green. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz., 10 
cts.; Vi lb., 30 cts. 
Phinney’s Early. A very early vari- 
ety; medium and uniform size, 
and a beautiful form. The skin

and dark green stripes. Flesh 
light red or pink, sweet and de- 
licious. One of the very best for
