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 45 to 75 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 7 5 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. 
We introduced this fine variety about 
thirty years ago and while for several years 
we had no seed and could not offer it, we 
have large and excellent quality stocks this 
year again. Our old customers will welcome

a most agreeable and deliciously sweet water¬
