There are repeated calls for a yellow fleshed melon from customers. We offer this year a variety that will suit all. This is par excellence in quality, the vines are strong growers and whether fully grown or undevel- oped, there seems to be no difference in their quality, being exceedingly sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden yellow and makes a fine contrast with the red sorts for table service. They average about 20 lbs. in weight, and are good keepers. The meat is of a luscious sug- ary flavor and of a firm texture. A really de- licious yellow-fleshed melon is a novelty to many. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., ^4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $ SWEET HEART.
