Childs' Creat Combination—Great Combination is an appropriate name for a melon which combines the larg- est size, superb quality, fragrance, late ripening and long keeping qualities. In size it will average twice as large as any other Muskmelon we know, twenty or thirty pounds being its usual weight. It is very thick meated, rich apricot yellow in color and highly fragrant. In quality it is very rich and delicious, being equalled only by Emerald Gem, It is the last of all the Muskmelons to ripen and comes after all others have gone, which makes it a most important variety. Its keeping qualities are simply marvelous, for when carefully picked in September and stored in a cool place it is not unusual for keep a month in perfect condition. It has a splendid uniform shape, and its tremendous size makes it a giant among melons. A most valuable novelty which will be greatly appreciated. Per 10c; oz., 20c; $ Princess—A new and superior variety for either market or home garden. The Melons are nearly round, deeply ribbed, very thick flesh of a rich salmon ., 85c. Winter Pineapple—A new melon of much value, owing to the fact that, it can lie kept until Christmas or later. The color of the flesh is a deep lemon- yellow, and tlie outer skin is dark green, marked with yellow. The quality is delicious, having a rich spicy flavor that is not pos- sessed by any other fruit. These melons have much thicker and finer flesh than ordinary Muskmelons, bence their long keeping qualities. They very rarely ripen on the vines so the melons must be picked off in the fall and put in some cool place, where, however, there is no danger of freezing, until they are wanted. It,
