Salzer’s Earliest as an extra-early watermelon. The melt- 
ing sweetness of this superb melon, the delicious, ex- 
quisitely flavored flesh, its hardiness and ease of growth, 
have delighted gardeners everywhere. AS far north as 
Canada, Salzer’s Fourth of July will supply the tables just 
as bountifully as it does in the sunny regions of the South. 
Matures an abundant crop of first quality melons twelve 
inches long and nine inches in diameter, weighing about 
25 pounds. ‘The rich, red, fine-grained flesh ripens clear 
to the rind and is most luscious and refreshing. Not 
suited for shipping but a grand melon for home use and 
near-by markets. Thrives even under neglect. Matures 
in about 65 days. 671—Pke., 10c; oz., 19¢; 14 Ib., 52e; 1% Ib.,
