The strain here offered originated with the melon growers in the vicinity of Rockv Ford, Colorado, who have shipped this melon from that dis- tant western point to east- ern markets. The melons grown by them are so fine in quality as to outsell all others, and the demand for such melons has been far beyond the supply.
