This variety derives its name from the district in which it has been for the past three years so extensively grown, Rocky Ford, Colorado and from which point these melons are shipped in their season by the car load to nearly every station in the United 'states till the name Rocky Ford has become a synonym for excellence in cantaloupes. Few hotels remain whose tables are'not supplied with this toothsome dainty, and for a breakfast delicacy this luscious little melon is without a rival Its aroma is delightful, and no bill of fare is complete without it in the melon season. Mn productiveness it equals any of the older sorts, making up in quality and number of melons tor whatever it may lack in size. Recent experiments have determined its per- fect adaptability to many counties in Kansas, and the up-to-date grower of melons for the market has a field already opened to him by the enterprise of the Rocky Ford growers for this superior variety. The seed we offer is of our own growing at Rocky Ford. Colorado, and can be relied on for both purity and vitality.
