the acme of perfection in the sal- 
mon flesh varieties. The original 
type of this new melon was first 
located in our field at Osage, 
where we found by close com- 
parison it surpassed this excel- 
lent variety, as it did all others. 
Weighs from 6 to 8 pounds; ex- 
ceedingly thin skin, deep flesh, 
ripening very close to rind. Very 
small seed cavity, firmly netted, 
distinctly ribbed, very firm and 
solid both on blossom and stem 
end. Never known to crack open. 
Flesh is deep Salmon color, very 
thick meat, sweet, sugary and de- 
licious. This grand melon always 
sells at top prices. Pkt. 15c; oz. 
35c; 14 Ib. 95c; 16 Ib. $1.65; Ib.

Condon Bros. Seedsmen. 
Gentlemen: — Last year I ordered 
some of your Condon’s Perfection 
Muskmelon Seed at Springdale, Ar- 
kansas. I had some of the Seed left 
over and planted 70 hills here at 
Cushing. I don’t believe that I had a 
melon that weighed less than 7 lbs., 
The and many weighed 15 lbs. and over. 
It was as sweet as sugar, and thin 
Ideal rinded. I have raised lots of Musk- 
melon in the past, but this melon 
takes the head of the class. 
Melon for Yours very truly, C. G. BATHE.
