WONDERFUL SUGAR—These Melons grow to a large size, are handsome in appearance and the flesh is a beautiful red. The vines grow very stroni 
and thrifty and will stand wet or dry weather. The illustration, made from a specimen, gives a good idea of the handsome appearance and we can highly 
recommend this Water Melon as being one that will please our customers both in the north and south. It is an excellent sort for near by markets, but on 
account of its thin rind we do not recommend it for long freight shipments. For a large size Water Melon we are sure our customers will be more than pleased 
with this one and we have a choice lot of seed to offer at the following prices:

GIANT 
that it has practically excluded all other varieties which should be ample 
proof of its good qualities. It is handsome in appearance, shaded with 
green and netted with a darker shade of green. Its rind is only about or.e- 
fourth inch in thickness, but very hard and tough, classing it among 
those of the best shippers. The entire flesh of this melon, all through, 
and close to the rind is a deep crimson; of a sweet, delicious flavor and at 
the same time solid and crisp. Pkt., 5c. ,3 pkts., 12c*,oz., 15c.,2 ozs., 25c
