lOO THE WATERMELON 



Jackso7i Type 



This type of watermelon resembles the Icing type in every 

 particular except shape of the fruit, which is long. The name 

 Jackson is borrowed from the variety already well known. 

 Figure 5 contains one variety of this type and figure 14 the 

 other, both of which are also given in the following diagram :

Black Spanish Type 



This type of watermelon is characterized by its very uni- 

 form dark green or black color, and particularl}'^ its round or 

 oval shape. This type is to the dark green melons exactly 

 what the Sweet Heart type is to the light green class or the 

 Icing type to the medium green class. 



Black Spanish is given as the typical name on account of 

 the well known variety of that name which it is thought will 

 convey the idea of classification. Figure 6 contains two vari- 

 eties of this type, figure 11 one, and also figure 14 contains the 

 Early Corona, a new introduction of the past season.
