Melon Today And— 
An Excellent Home Gar den Variety 
A sensational new Watermelon of‘outstanding- merit and destined to become one of the most popular for 
the market grower and the home gardener. The size is not unduly larg-e, yet under proper methods of cul¬ 
ture, melons weig-hing- 50 pounds or more are not unusual. The sparkling- crisp red flesh is deliciously sweet 
clear to the rind. It is solid, with very few small white seeds. The outer skin is lig-ht green, striped and 
blotched with dark green, rather tough, and does not bruise easily. A good shipping melon because of the 
texture of the skin and the strength of the rind, and it will travel to distant markets and arrive in perfect 
condition. Produces sturdy, strong vines that carry a larger number of melons—it will produce earlier and 
outyield most other varieties. It has all the good qualities demanded by commercial growers, and is per¬ 
fectly adapted.to the smaller home-garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., IS cts.; V4 lb., 35 cts.; y* lb., 55 cts.; lb., $1.00;

474 KING and QUEEN—The Christmas Melon 
Greatest Little Melon on Earth—Sweet, Crisp and Delicious—Small 
Vines Suited to Kitchen Garden—Be Sure to Try This Little Wonder 
It is late to mature; very light in color with a suspicion of a stripe; size 10 
inches in diameter; seed small, shiny black, flesh pink, solid and stringless. The 
flavor when cold is sweet, crisp and surprisingly delicious, and when you have 
finished you realize that you have eaten a. melon as entirely distinct from a water 
melon, as the Casaba is apart from the Cantaloupe and just as delicious. Like the 
Casaba it should not be eaten right off the vine, but be allowed to lie around until 
the first signs of decay. It decays slowly like an apple, not like other watermelons. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 18 cts.; Vi lb., 43 cts.; Vi lb., 70 cts.; 1 lb., $1.35; 3 lbs., 
$3.40; 5 lbs., $5.50, postpaid.
