THE WATERMELON 



Early Corona. — A new variety just introduced the past 

 season. It belongs to the Black Spanish type of watermelons, 

 being a dark green in color and oval in form. Flesh firm, of 

 good flavor, and contains dark brown seeds. It is an early 

 variety of good size and very promising. 



Paul's Bonny Best. — A new introduction of the past sea- 

 son. It is early ; somewhat smaller than Cole's Early, and 

 perhaps earlier. Light and dark green stripings, oval in form. 

 Quite promising. Our test was incomplete the past season.
