Improved Rocky Ford—Finest of the Netted Gem type and a famous Melon owing to its unsurpassed quality. We all know that for some years past the best, and in fact the only real good Muskmelons that have come into our eastern market were the Rocky Fords. An expert has been to Rocky Ford, Colo., where these melons are grown, and bought the finest strain in cultivation from a private grower. This can be relied upon for producing the finest melons it is possible to grow. Pkt., 5c; oz., ioc; lb., $ Champion—A very handsome, large, round melon of delic- ious flavor and rich in quality. A great cropper and a favorite market sort. A fine standard sort which will give great satisfaction in any locality. For shipping it is without doubt the very best of all Muskmelons. It keeps well, is cf fine appearance and high quality. None better for gardens. Pkt-, 5c; oz., 10c.; lb., $1-00. Emerald Gem—In quality this leads all, and every home garden should include it. Medium size, round, with sal- mon flesh, so rich, sweet and juicy that it needs to be eaten with a spoon.

Where known in our villages andcities, the Emerald * Gem brings double the the price of any other sort, and for gardeners who deliver to custo- mers, or to the market direct, it i s the most profitable.

Seed cavity exceedingly small. Mel
