The seed cavily is SKall, and the flesh, which is green, is thick and sweet, containing a higher percentage of sugar than any other variety. An important feature of this variety is its ability to withstand rust and blight, so much so that it is almost proof against either. The size and shape combine to make this variety well adapted for both home use and shipping. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; Jib., 60 cts.; lb., $L75. Mooeoo MUSKMEEON As a Musknielon for the private garden, this variety will please all who plant it. The vines make a strong, vigorous growth, which enables lliem to withsland disease and pro- duce an abundant crop of the most delicious Muskmelons one can imagine. The melons rre not large, but of convenient size for table Use, and present a fine appearance. The rind and flesh at blossom end are very firm, the skin is thickly netted, and flesh a rich, deep orange color, fine grained and of re- markable sweetness.

Y., writes: "After re- peated trials I have no hesitancy in stating that Yellow Ice Cream is the 'par excel- lence' of Watermelons. Vines are inclined to overbear, and whelhw fully grown or un- developed, the melons are sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden-yellow; skin green and shape elongated. By laying them on barn floor, away from chilly blasts, they kept well into winter. The patch was found by night prowlersand this variety was nearly all taken, while others were left. If I could have only one variety of Watermelon it would be Yellow Ice Cream " Pkt., 10 ct
