The melon is oblong in shape, about 
20 inches in length by 10 to 12 
inches in diameter. The skin is a rich 
dark green; the rind is thin and brittle, 
and for this reason the melon is not a 
good shipper to a distance beyond two 
or three hundred miles, but for home 
use and nearby market consumption it’s 
got ’em all backed off the list. Our seed 
is all saved from hand selected, uni- 
form, well shaped, fully matured, ripe 
melons. This extra care in selecting the 
melons from which the seed is saved 
costs a little more than the method 
generally used but it insures you seed 
of the highest quality with strong, vig- 
orous germination. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c;
