Minnesota, the fruit ripens in 70 days from planting of the seed. It is two 
weeks earlier than any variety I have ever tried out. The melons are 
netted, slightly ribbed and of medium size, weighing about 3 pounds each.

makes it attractive to buyers. If you try this melon once you will always 
want it again. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Za lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, postpaid.
