SEMUSK MELONS 
I offer only the very best, and at prices quoted 
the seed is sent by mail postpaid. My new variety 
the “EARLIEST,” is a splendid sort to plant. e 
MXEIS’ EARLIllsT- This is tfie EARLIEST Musk Melon Ihnt I know of, and is sure to create 
a sensation wherever grown. It is ahead of the Jenny Lind, and in fact, ahead of all the Musk Mel¬ 
ons offered. 1 he melons are of uniform size, of fine shape and appearance; extremely delicious 
and sell in any market. They are nearly round, as may be seen by the beautiful illustration; oi 
good size, finely netted, while inside they are ol a rich orange color, and 1 venture to say the flesh 
is thicker than any other variety in cultivation, there being a very small seed cavity.. As to the 
flavor, it takes the lead, is far ajiead of anything; 1 have ever tested. It can be recommended 
ajike for either home or market use, and has fully demonstrated that it deserves the name MILLS’ 
EARLIEST. Nothing is so delicious as a really good eaily Musk Melon. I know that this, the 
earliest, sweetest and most delicious Musk Melon, will please every body growing it, whether grow¬ 
ing one or two hills or live or ten acres. Pkt. 5e.; oz. lOe. ; A lb. U5c.; lb. 00c.
