Cucumber JJJjftl
PERFECTION
SPINE . . .
We have for several years been improving this most valuable strain, and this
s the first season we have been abie to offer it in quantity. It is grown on our
own farm at Despatch, and the crop as harvested was Perfection itself. It
is the best White Spine Cucumber in cultivation.
Pound \ $l.QO; ounce, 15 cents ; packet. 5 cents.
Vick's Irondequoit Musk Melon.
SELECTED STOCK SEED.
On our trial grounds the past season we planted for testing pur-
poses the seed of over fifty varieties of Musk Melon, representing
all of the so-called leading varieties and novelties found in the
numerous seed catalogues of last year. At time of maturity we
made a public exhibit of all, both on our grounds and at our store,
and the judgment passed by all gardeners, truckers and home
growers was unanimous in pronouncing the Irondequoit the finest
in appearance, best flavored, and for all purposes the peer of all
Musk Melons. Our illustrations shows a
perfect Melon. In form it is nearly round,
slightly flattened at ends and good size. Its
fine netted skin, yellow when ready for
picking, and its beautiful dark orange-col-
ored flesh, added to its unequaled rich,
rare and spicy flavor, at once places the
Irondequoit far in advance of all others.
Pound, $1.00 ; oz., 13 cts.; y 2 oz., 10 cts.
CVCUMBER VICK S PERFECTION WHITE SPINE.

Gentlemen: In answer to your inquiry
in regard to Irondequoit Melons, will say that
they have given the best satisfaction to our-
selves and our guests of any Melon we have
ever used in our hotel. Yours truly,

Crouch & Son.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
