Iovf a Seed Company. Des Moines. Iowa. 23 RARE, CURIOUS AND VALUABLE VEGETABLES VINE PEACH-—A splendid novelty which was intro- duced by us. The vine on which they are borne is somewhat similar to the musk melon vine, and re- quires the fame cultivation. The fruit is about the size of a large peach, oval shaped, and of a bright orange-yellow color, somewhat "russeted. For sweet pickles, pies or preserving, they are superb. Receipts for preparing them for the table will be sent with each order. In the west and northwest, where fruit is scarce, they are becoming popular, as they are easily culti- vated, wonderfully prolific, and can be used in every way in which you would use a peach except that they are not usually liked raw.

Prolilic and easily grown. It is often called Queen Anne's Pocket Melon. Per.
