tinued. 
767 Ward’s Cannonball, 
White Seeded. (90 
days.) A large, round 
Melon, with solid meat, 
practically all heart. 
While not the earliest 
Melon, our trial 
grounds manager says 
that after he gets the 
first Cannonballs he 
will eat no other Melon, 
for the flavor is the 
very finest. This Wa¬ 
termelon is very well 
known in the Grand River Val¬ 
ley. When better known, no farm gar¬ 
den will be complete without this Melon. 
The rind is only about half an inch thick but the 
flesh is so solid that it will stand a limited amount 
of shipping. This is the variety we recommend to 
•you for your main crop. Fkt, 5c; oz, 15c; V4 lb, 40c; 
lb, $1.10, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs, $4.60.
