SALZER’S OH, MY! MELON 
The Largest Watermelon on Earth. In 
our latitude, by September 1st Melons of this 
variety have attained the enormous weight 
of 50 to 95 lbs.; they all grow to an enor¬ 
mous size. Oh, My! is an extremely prolific 
if not the most productive variety known. 
An acre will bear several thousand great 
Melons weighing all the way from 30 to 90 
lbs., and each fit to be set before a king. The 
Melons are almost round in shape, of a pe¬ 
culiar dark brownish green color. The flesh 
is dark red. deliciously sweet. ' 
We introduced this fine variety about 
thirty years ago and while for several years 
we had no seed and could not offer it, we 
have large and excellent quality stocks this 
year again. Our old customers will welcome 
Oh, My! and our new friends will find in it 
a most agreeable and deliciously sweet water¬ 
melon.

A distinct new variety that has appeared on 
northern markets in volume during the past re¬ 
cent seasons. It is a good producer, stands wet 
weather well, and so far has not been subject to 
the diseases that have damaged other melons.

of a rich greenish gray color, which makes it very 
hard to sunburn. It is Wilt-resistant. It is very 
uniform in its growth, being the same size at each 
end and makes the most perfect car pack of any 
of the varieties. It will weigh from 25 to 75 
pounds and is a perfect shipper.

IMPROVED TOM WATSON—THE PRINCE OE WATERMELONS 
Without a peer! A melon in a class by itself! Salzer’s Tom Watson has surprised everybody by its rapid rise in popularity. It 
is unsurpassed a.s a shipper and the big. fine quality melons sell on sight at any marlcet. De Groot and Son of Madison. Nebraska, write. 
“Sold a load of 62 of your melons at market In l!y minutes.” This is a record seldom, if ever, equalled. 
The seeds are brown with a sprinkling of white, the rind is deep green indistinctly veined, the shape is long and cylindrical and the 
melons often attain a weight of 40 pounds and more. The length averages 20 to .30 inches by 10 to 13 inches in diameter, and the deep 
red, firm flesh extends to within three-quarters of an inch of the rind. Is rather late in maturing. Improved Tom Watson is a fine shipper. 
The vines are very vigorous and most productive. The flesh is rich red, crisp and luscious flavor.
