THE CASABA MELON. 
“ One of the specimens weighed twelve pounds; and if 
there is a more sugary, tender-ileslied, and altogether good 
melon than tins, we would like to see it .”—Editors Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist , Oct., 1868. 
“Every one who ate of them have pronounced them the 
finest melons they ever tasted; they weighed from ten to 
sixteen pounds each. They suffered less from drought than 
any melons on the farm.”—J. M. Phillips, Newtown, Md. 
‘ I am especially pleased witli the Casaba Melon on my 
ground ; they have borne abundantly, are of very large size, 
and superior quality.”—T. C. Wallace, M. D., Cambridge, N.\ 
“ The earlier 3 'cars of my life, which I spent in Constants, 
nople, Turkey,‘in the midst of the profuse abundance of 
melons, which used to overstock the market of that city, we 
would now and then come across the Casaba. It was a lux¬ 
ury, not solely for its rarity in that market, but for its own 
size and excellence ; though as large as the largest water¬ 
melon, it was also of reallv exquisite flavor. The cause of 
its rarity was stated to be the fact that it would not grow in 
excellence except in the province of Casaba, in Asia Minor.”

SANFORD CORN. 
The experience of the past season fully confirms all that 
has been said in its favor. In many instances, being planted 
in the same field and having in all respects the same chance, 
it has ripened from two to three weeks earlier, and yielded 
double the amount of other corn. Testimonials from relia¬ 
ble farmers in nearly every State endorse it as being the best 
field corn. One quart by mail post-paid, 75c. Two quarts,
