COJLES EARLIEST, THE HARDIEST AND MOST PRODUCTIVE, EVER INTRODUCED. NONE BETTER, TO GROW FOR LOCAL MARKETS, OR FAMILY USE. This fine new melon, we have the pleasure to introduce to our customers for trial only this season,is worthy of an extended distribution. A few years ago one of our customers sent us a small lot, seed of this variety, to plant in our trialgrounds. He gave us the following history of it: He had been growing this variety for nearly twenty years,and was always the first to have ripe melons for the market or family use. A good many would buyhis melons with the object of obtaining seed, but never did succeed in getting pure seed, as thosebrought on the market were grown along side of other varieties, and so kept this variety in his ownfamily. The melons are of medium size, nearly round in shape, rind green, striped with lighter shades. Itis
