Musknteloi), rRAMPlON MtrQll think is far superior tc l^m^-N al1 others- Particularly fqi This fine fruit is much more delicious when eaten fresh from the vines than when allowed to stand for days in the heat of the market. Grow them like Cucumbers. Kinsman Queen-This greatly improved Melon comes to us from a large grower in Ohio who pronounces it the finest of all Melons he has ever grown. Our trials of it ior three years show it to be very fine indeed. We call it the very finest melon we ever grew and we firmly believe that all our customers who plant it will say the same. It is of good size, very deep meated, and the color of its flesh is a rich prauge salmon. It is verv tender, melting, and of the highest and richest flavor we have ever seen. It is the one Melon above all others to grow. Pkt "ioc â oz., 30c.; lb., $2-00. Surrell Gem-We are glad to be able to offer a new strain of the famous Rrmky Ford Melons and one which we to for general cultivation. This Melon is the result of many years of careful breeding at Rocky Ford and has the closely laced gray netting of the original Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. In size it is somewhat larger, averag- ing nearly two pounds. The flavor is rich and spicy, the meat thick fine grained and very rich. Its carrying qualities are much superior to the original Rocky Ford, and owing to this and other points of superiority it sells at from two to three times as much per dozen or crate as the old variety. Per pkt, 10c.: oz., 25c; lb., $2.50.
