MONTE CR|STO
WATER MELON

The writer has disposed of the
larger part of a Monte Cristo water
melon raised by the well known grow
er of melons in this county, Frank
Whitrock, on his farm in the town of
Grand Rapids, about two miles south
of this city Without question this
melon is the finest flavor of any
melon raised. 1t double discounts
any other melon raised in these parts
and we have some very fine melons
in other varieties. Mr.. Whitrock's
crop of melons is large this year as
the season has been favorable. There
are large crowds of buyers at his
place and the melons go as fast as
they ripen. The Monte Cristo is not
an early melon and often times is in
jured by early frosts. Thus far the
melon crop has escaped any injury
Anyone having tasted the delicious
flavor of a Monte Cristo never wants
any other melon. That is true in ou1
case. Mr. Whitrock also has a fine
crop of musk melons of different var
ieties. They are all fine.
