Monte Cristo Watermelon. Best Ever Produced. 
parable Monte Cristo is sweet and luscious be¬ 
yond power of words to describe. It is the ear- 
l iest or ALL the giant melons, and is, without 
doubt, GREATEST YIELDEft EVER KNOWN. 
Often weighs under ordinary cultivation 60 
lbs. or more. One of the sweetest, juciest, crisp 
and most solid melons ever produced. Very 
easy to sell from its handsome appearance and 
exquisite quality. It is the GREATEST MON 
ey maker. 
Certainly no melon can sur¬ 
pass it for market or table use. 
Mr. Dodge the veteran melon 
expert says, “The Monte Cristo 
is the best melon I ever raised— 
not half its good qualities have 
been told.” My Growers say. 
All other melons are poor and 
tasteless compared with the 
Monte Cristo.” Whatever you 
do, do not miss growing the 
wonderful Monte Cristo Water¬ 
melon.

My Dear A(lways) T(rue) Cook. Your Honest Catalog has 
ome again. Every year adds to my faith in Cook’s seeds. 
Those Vegetable Peaches, Domestic 
Coffee, and Cinnamon Vines were 
more wonderful,more pleasing, and 
more fascinating than ever. 
The Cinnamon Vine was the mar¬ 
vel of the city; and the peaches and 
coffee not only gave large crops but 
attracted the attention of the whole 
section. All other seeds did well. 
The Perfection Parsnips, which 
came to my table for dinner to-day 
deserve especial mention. In more 
than a quarter-centurys experience 
with experimental gardens, nothing 
in the way of seeds has everpleased 
me more, and if it will do you any 
good you can say that Cook, and 
his seeds are guaranteed bv me. 
Fraternally and .sincerely Yours, 
W. H. Morse, Agri’I Chemist.
