TEE CASABA MELON. 
" One of the specimens weighed twelve pounds; and if 
there is a more sugary, tcnder-lleshed, and altogether good 
melon than this, we would like to see it." — Ed itors Ameri- 
can Agriculturist. Oct., 1SGS. 
"Every one who ate of them have pronounced them the 
finest melons they ever tasted ; tliey weighed from ten to 
sixteen pounds each. They suffer cd'less from drought than 
any melons on the farm."— J. M. Phillips, Kewtown", Md. 
"I am especially pleased with the Gasaba Melon on my 
ground; they have borne abundantly, are of very large size, 
and superior quality." — T. C. "Wallace", M.D., Cambridge, K.\ 
41 The earlier years of my life, which I spent in Constant!-, 
no pie, Turkey, in the midst of the protase abundance of 
melons, which used to overstock the market of that city, we 
■would now and then come across the C:\saba. It was a" lux- 
ury, not solely for its rarity in that market, but for its own 
size and excellence ; though as large a3 the largest water- 
melon, it was also oi really exquisite flavor. The cause of 
its rarity was stated to be the fact that it would not crow in 
excellence exceptin the province of Casaba.in Asia Minor." 
— Extract from a letter from W. D. Dwight, Principal of 
the West Point School. 
This melon can be grown quite as easily as any of the 
other varieties of muskmclon.

field corn. One quart by mail post-paid, 15c Two quarts,
