The Earliest Large Melon 
This fine melon is becoming more and 
more popular for local sales and roadside 
stands. It is the earliest large melon of 
high quality we have ever raised, and we 
recommend it highly for roadside trade 
and local markets. It will not stand long 
distance shipping. 
We have grown this melon on our own 
farms for a number of years, carefully 
selecting our stock for earliness, large size 
and high quality. We have never seen a 
strain equal to ours. See prices below.
