ell Bs Especially bred and developed for those sections 
j e which have a short growing season, Salzer’s Earliest 
is sure to be the first watermelon on the market, be- 
m ing fit for the table in about 66 days. On the La 
whe Crosse market, the earliest melons fetch prices of 50c 
Bey to 80c each! Salzer’s Earliest has been a money 
maker for market gardeners for years and is in no 
less demand by the home gardener who wants the 
very earliest, luscious watermelons for his own use. 
Salzer’s Earliest reaches a large size, weighing 
from 25 to 30 pounds, is rather round in shape, of an 
attractive light green color and striped irregularly 
with darker green. It is enormously prolific, vines 
are vigerous and hardy and it is decidedly a short 
season melon and especially adapted for the North. 
The. sparkling, crisp, red flesh is of wonderfully fine 
texture, has a delicious and exceptionally sweet flavor 
and ripens down to the rind. Unusually uniform in 
size and shape, it is a splendid shipper, and is a lead- 
ing market variety in all parts of the country. Even 
in sections too cool to ordinarily grow a crop of water- 
melons, Salzer’s Earliest will ripen fine large melons.
