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.

thirty years ago and while for several years 
we had no seed and could not offer it, we
