"Rocky Ford Cantaloupe" takes it name from the little town of Kocky Ford, Colorado, which has become as famous for it melons as is Baltimore for its oysters. The reason for the wide-spread popularity of these melons is two-fold. First, its superb table qualities, being firm, sweet and remarkably solid. Second, its wonderful shipping qualities, which enables it to be carried great distances, t?nd yet arrive in first-class condition mr mark- et. The fruit is of medium hize, o\al shaped, heavily netted and very solid. The flesh is green, thick and juicy. It is very early and wonderfully productive No doubt there will be a very large demand for this variety the com- ing season, and inferior stock will be put upon the market. We obtained our seed at high cost direct from Rocky Ford, and did not do as some un- reliable people have doue—gone around to the city restauiants and gathered up whatever Musk Melon seeds they may have called Rocky Ford. Those who purchase their seed from us can fully rely on securing the genuine stock.
