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

It is the unanimous ver- dict of growers that it is the finest of Water-melons for home use or nearby market. The only draw- back to the variety is that the fruits are too tender to stand shipment. The vines are strong and vigorous and the fruits grow uniformly to quite large size; ob- long in form. The skin is a rich dark green, while the flesh is bright scarlet, ripening close to the skin, the rind being only about one-half inch in thickness. Large solid heart, which does not crack open when ripe, as is the case in many large Melons. The rich, scarlet flesh is crisp, sugary, and melting to the highest degree, being entirely free from any itringiness.
