The heads grow to an enormous size, and resemble cabbage in their solidity, measuring from 12 to 15 inches across, and frequently weighing 2 and 3 pounds each. The quality is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. It withstands the heat well, making a fine varieiy for all seasons. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; |- Ib., 60 cts. HARRIS' EARWEST WATERMELON. This is an excellent variety of Watermelon, and it will rank as one of the best early sorts. The melons are rather large for an early variety, slightly oval in shape, skin mottled light and dark green. It grows uniform in size and shape ; the flesh is solid, bright red, very tender and sweet. Pkt., 10 ct-S.; oz., 15 cts.;l lb,, 40 cts ; lb., $ SNOWBOUNU WATERMEEON. Among our trials of melons last summer we found this va- riety to be of most delicious flavor, notwithstanding an un- favorable season. The vines made a healthy growth and bore profusely. Melons are oblong in shape, quite large, have gray skin and rind is tough enough to stand ship- ment. The flesh is light pi-nk, very tender and of remarkably sweet flavor. We consider it a desirable melon for home use.
