474 KING and QUEEN—The Christmas Melon 
Greatest Little Melon on Earth—Sweet, Crisp and Delicious—Small 
Vines Suited to Kitchen Garden—Be Sure to Try This Little Wonder 
It is late to mature; very light in color with a suspicion of a 
stripe; size 10 inches in diameter; seed small, shiny black, flesh pink, 
solid and stringless. The flavor when cold is sweet, crisp and sur¬ 
prisingly delicious, and when you have finished you realize that you 
have eaten a melon as entirely distinct from a water melon, as the 
Casaba is apart from the Cantaloupe and just as delicious. Like 
the Casaba it should not be eaten right off the vine, but be allowed 
to lie around until the first signs of decay. It decays slowly like 
an apple, not like other watermelons. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 18 cts.; 
V4 lb., 42 cts.; % lb., 70 cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs* $2.40, postpaid.
