Wondermelon 
((TT TONDKR MELON" is comparatively a 
W new variety, but lias become one of 
the favorites. No watermelon has 
received more praise in the short time of its 
existence, and justly so, for it is one of the 
finest flavored melons raised. It is also very 
productive, grows great quantities of big, fine, 
dark glossy green melons. The rind is rather 
thin but reasonably tough to insure good carry¬ 
ing for short hauls, and any market that re¬ 
ceives this melon will sell to good advantage. 
Grows long and thick, seeds white, flesh deep 
red, juicy and sweet. 85 days; 30 pounds.
