“Sweetest Melon Ever Grown.” The rind 
is a dull white when ripe. Part of the melon shows a slight check 
in the rind like a tendency to net. The size runs from 6 to 7 inches 
in diameter from top to bottom, and 8 inches in length. The ma- : 
tured melons are practically all of the same shape and size. Flesh 
is a light green and is almost honey sweet. This melon will keep 
several weeks. This is one of the best market melons known. Vines 
vigorous, and produce 6 to 10 fine melons to the hill. Pkt., 10c;

green. Flesh bright red, tender and sweet. PkKt.,

KLECKLEY’S SWEETS or MONTE CRISTO. Dis- 
tinctly a home garden melon as the dark bluish 
green rind is so crisp that it breaks easily. The 
long, oval fruits are slightly larger near the 
blossom end. They weigh from 25 to 35 pounds 
and ripen in 105 days. We know of none better 
in quality of flesh. 1 oz., 15c; 14 Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.00.

10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.00. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. Fordhook Early Watermelon 
will ripen in sections too cool to grow a good 
crop of any other watermelon. There is no other 
melon of such large size which can make this 
claim. We would suggest that you make a trial
