Buckbee's Monte Cristo Watermelon
The sweetest flavored melon in the world. The largest early water melon to mature, ripening in the remarkably short period of 65 to 80 days, and weighing, under ordinary cultivation, 60 pounds. The greatest yielder. The juiciest, crispest, and most solid melon ever produced, never having a hollow or pithy center when ripe. The easiest to sell on the market, for when once tried, people will have no other. Many of our customers have written us that they have cleared $150 per acre by growing Monte Cristo Melons. Under average cultivation you can do as well or better. Will you not try this year? It is a grand, good shipper; has a firm solid rind, not too thick, yet it will stand the most severe handling. The outside skin is of rich,dark green color. Certainly the finest appearing melon ever grown for market, shipping, or table purposes. Pkt. 10C; oz. 15C; 2 oz. 25C; ¼ lb. 35C; ½ lb. 60C; lb. $1.00
