We have had early melons of good quality, but this is the FIRST EXTRA EARLY WATER- MELON of fine quality that is also of large size. From seed planted on the tenth day of May, large ripe melons were picked the last day in July, dem- onstrating its inbred character of maturing extra early. The form is nearly round. The average weight of the melons is from twenty-five to thirty-five pounds each—a size rarely attained by any other extra early melon under favorable conditions. The rind is tough, making it a valuable A'ariety for shipping; the outer color is a uniform medium green; the seeds are white; the flesh is bright red and very sweet.
