BOLGIANO'S
Baltimore Nutmeg
Muskmelon or Ganteloupe.
Our seed this season has been grown from
the old original stock seed that we have had
on hand for more than six years. We sent
the seed to our grower and directed him to
plant the seed and take special care of the
crop, which he did. He says the crop was a
fine one, and we feel sure that persons grow-
ing Canteloupes from this seed will be more
than pleased with the crop. The Baltimore
Nutmeg Canteloupe is, as you all know, a
large Green-Flesh variety, sweet as sugar ;
in fact the flavor is that rich canteloupe
flavor which cannot be duplicated in any
other kind of fruit. Remember we have
this season the original stock. Buy early
and find success. Packets, 5c. and 10c.

ite.— This excel. ent variety
is a remarkable heavy
yielder and one of the finest
tab e melons ever grown. It
is two weeks earlier than
Kolb's Gem or Gypsy; of
medium size, covered with
light and dark green stripes,
alternately; f.esh deep red,
delicious, sweet, very firm
and crisp. Its earliness and
excellent quality are bound
to make it popular with
tho?e who plant for their
own use and prefer quality
to enormous size-Packet.

Triumph Watermelon — This new melon, as
a market sort and for shipment, is the best we have
ever introduced. It is very prolific, very early, and
of uniformly large size. It is a cross between the
Duke Jones and and Kolb Gem ; has the fine, hand-
some appearance of the former and the fine shipping
qualities of the latter. The rind, like the Duke Jones,
is of dark green color, the seed exactly the same color
as those of the Kolb Gem. The average size of the
melon is very large. Our stock of this seed is very
limited. Packet, 10c. l / 2 pound, 25c. Pound, 50c.
¥ Kolb's Gem Watermelon — Our stock is from
headquarters. This is one of the largest, most prolific,
best shipping and keeping melons ever introduced.
So popular did it become that we were unable to fill
all our orders in the past three years. The rind is
very thin, but tough; flesh bright red and flavor ex-
cellent. In our long experience we have never known
any melon to introduce itself so quickly to growers
and shippers. After another year's trial it is more
