For the Central and Northern States, we consider this the best general cropper for the home market; has too thin a rind for shipping unless packed in straw. Fruits laiger than Halbert Honey or Kleckley's Sweet and ten days earlier; rind light green, mottled and veined; flesh bright scarlet, solid to the center, tender, sweet, melting and delicious. Few, if any, surpass it for quality and productiveness.

No hard core or stringl- ness. An early melon, averaging about 20 lbs. each, and ivery few seeds. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c, Postpaid [ WATERMELONS MAMMOTH PRIZE WATERMELON.
