The rind is a black-green, both greea and Avliite part being ouly a quarter of an inch thick. Just beneath the skin tlie interior is of aii intense scarlet color of a uniform brilliancy—no white meat—and the color, which we term scarlet, is of a most dazzling effect. The meat, without an interior break or crack, is crystalline, delicious in flavor, and produces exclamations of surprise from anyone who sees one of the melons cut. An entirely new form, as indicated by the arrangement of the seeds. Lb. ^ Lb. Oz. Pkt. $2 00 70 40 10 For Express charges paid by customer, or small seeds Postage paid by us, see inside of cover.
