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 enormous size. Oh, My! is an ex¬ 
tremely prolific if not the most productive 
variety known. An acre bears an enor¬ 
mous amount of 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 peculiar 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.

CITRON 
Grown exclusively for preserves and pickles. 
The fruits are perfectly round, striped alter¬ 
nately dark and light green. The flesh is thick, 
hard, and clear white and the vines are enor¬ 
mously productive. Makes delicious preserves. 
Seed is red. Matures in 95 days. Will keep for 
long periods. 663 — Pkg., 10c; oz., 15c; V\ lb.,

Hungarian Honey 
HUNGARIAN HONEY 
It not only ripens early (in 80 
days) but it is deliciously sweet, 
with firm, solid, deep red flesh, and 
small seeds. Melons are nearly 
round, medium in size, weigh 8 to 
12 pounds each, and rind is dark 
green. A heavy yielder. The “svveet- 
as-honey” flesh compensates the 
grower for the rather small size.

Vs lb., 65c; lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.75;

SALZER’S IMPROVED TOM WATSON 
The Prince of Watermelons! Without a peer! A melon in a 
class by itself! It is unsurpassed as a shipper and the big, fine 
quality melons sell on sight at any market. 
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 12 inches in diam¬ 
eter, and the deep red, firm flesh extends to within three-quarters 
of an inch of the rind. Is rather late in maturing. The flesh is 
rich red, crisp and luscious flavor.
