THE BLUE KOLB GEM. 



The Kolb Gem watermelon, the big 

 blue sort, is getting to be a good crop 

 for east Texas. It goes on the market 

 about July 1, when there is just enough 

 watermelon weather up north, and the 

 farther it goes north the better it is 

 when it gets there. And let me tell you, 

 when you get hold of a big blue Kolb 

 Gem, after it is good and ripe, you have 

 a better melon than most of these new 

 ' ' extra sweet ' ' melons, the flesh of which 

 feels like cotton in your mouth. A great 

 mistake is often made, however, in ship- 

 ping the Kolb Gem too green, and then 

 there is a light colored variety of the 

 Kolb Gem that never gets good and ripe. 

 Certainly the demand in Texas is increas- 

 ing for well graded and loaded Kolb 

 Gems for the far northern trade, for the 

 reason that they stand the long haul bet- 

 ter than any other variety, and, if of the 

 blue sort, are fine and dandy when they 

 arrive — well, the farther north the better. 



Speaking of the Kolb Gem reminds me 

 that the first season or two I grew this 

 melon for shipment I planted the faded 

 out sort, and wondered why they sold as 

 well as they did up north. Some one 

 asked me why I grew them. I answered 

 that it was the only way I could think of
