THE WATERMELON 



Mungaria?! Honey. — Nearly round in form. Color of 

 skin medium green. Flesh bright red, stringless, and very 

 sweet. It has very small seeds of an orange brown color. 

 Early and very productive. One of the best for home use but 

 too small for market. 



Ice Crea??i. — Medium sized, round or nearly so, medium 



green. Flesh pink and sweet. The largest specimens often 



grow hollow hearted. White seeds. Some think this the 

 same as Peerless. 



Iro72clad. — A long light and dark striped melon. Flesh a 

 dainty red, firm and solid ; see cut on front of this bulletin. 

 Seeds white. The rind v^^hile thin is very tough, making it an 

 excellent keeper. 



Jones, — A very late variety, none ripening although a num- 

 ber set. 



Jo7ies' yuinbo. — A medium green variety. It is highly 

 spoken of for the South as a good shipper, fine flavor, etc. It 

 is apparently too late for our climate. Seeds white. 



Kleckley Sweets. — An early, long, dark green melon. 

 Flesh scarlet, solid and very sweet. Seeds white. Excel- 

 lent for home use but too brittle for shipping. 



KoW s Gem. — A popular variety largely grown in the 

 South for Northern markets. A cross between the »Scaley 

 Bark and Rattlesnake. Nearly round in shape, and light 

 striped. Flesh bright red and of good flavor. Seeds black. 

 A good shipper. 



Light Ichig. — Medium sized, round or nearly round. 

 Light green skin. Flesh light red, solid, and very sweet. Seeds 

 white. 



Mclvers' Sugar. — A long melon beautifully striped with 

 light and dark green. Flesh solid, tender, and sweet. Seeds 

 white. An uncertain and shy bearer, from our experience. 



Mills' Early. — Similar to Cole's Early except smaller in 

 size. Well adapted for home use in sections where larger 

 melons will not ripen. 



Mou7itain Sweet. — Long, dark green. Flesh red, solid, 

 and sweet. Seeds black. An old but very desirable variety.
