One ounce of seed for 30 hills ; 

 4 to 5 pounds In hills for an acre. 



DIXIE. This variety has now been several years on the market 

 and has given universal satisfaction. It is a very prolific bearer, 

 is unsurpassed for shipping purposes, and for private use, owing 

 to its excellent flavor and brilliant color of flesh, is unexcelled. 

 It is medium early in season. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. ^ lb., 55c. lb. 



THE JONES. This is a splendid melon. The color of the skin is 

 solid green, and the flesh is a very bright red, particularly sweet, 

 juicy and melting. It grows to large size, frequently attaining 

 the weight of 80 pounds. In shape it resembles Kolb's Gem, 

 and, like that variety, is one of the best shipping sorts. 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz.,20c. M lb., 60c. lb. 



KOLB'S GEM. Largely grown, particularly in the South, forship- 

 mentto northern markets. As a shipping melon it has hardly an 

 equal. The fruit is nearly round, rind dark green, somewhat 

 marbled with lighter shades. Weight, 25 to 50 lbs. 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz., 20c. M lb., 50c. lb. 



MOUNTAIN SWEET. Fruit oblong, dark green; rind thin; 

 flesh red, solid and sweet. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb-> 50c. lb. 



THE "BOSS." Oblong in shape, and of nearly the same diameter 

 throughout. Skin very dark green, slightly mottled ; flesh deep 

 scarlet and of unusually rich flavor. Early, heavy, producti 

 and a good shipper. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. : 4 lb., 55c. lb. 



CUBAN QUEEN. This is a large variety, often weighin 

 pounds and upwards. The rind is marked 'with regular 

 stripes of light and dark green. It is very showy, of fair 

 quality, but an enormous cropper, and though it pro- 

 duces a good crop in midseason, it holds out to the last. 

 A very reliable sort. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE. One of the largest and best 

 in cultivation. Being several days earlier than Kolb's 

 Gem, it will succeed in a latitude far north of that 

 popular variety. It attains an enormous size ; the flesh 

 is a beautiful clear crimson, extending close up to the 

 rind, which is hard, thin and beautifully mottled light 

 and dark green. The shape is oblong, the flavor is 

 sweet and melting, making it one of the best in culti- 

 vation. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 60c. lb. 



CITRON. Fruit round, handsome and small ; vsed in 

 makinq preserves only . 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. V A lb., 70c. lb. 



SEMINOLE. In shape, this is oblong, slightly tapering 

 at the ends. One of the claims of the grower, which 

 we have proved by testing, is that it is solid, ripening 

 clear up to the rind. The flavor is excellent ; in a word, 

 it is one of the best. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 



ICE CREAM (White Seeded). This is one of the best 

 for growing in the latitude of New York. In shape it 

 is almost round; the skin is light green, slightly mot- 

 tled; flesh bright scarlet, and very solid. Medium 

 size, and its delicious flavor leaves nothing to be 

 desired. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 1 ^lb., 55c. lb.

 THE MEMPHIS. This variety came to us 

 from the South very highly recommended. 

 We have tried it for two seasons, and are 

 glad to be able to endorse the claims made 

 for its good qualities. It is very large in 

 size, oblong in shape ; the general outer 

 color is pale, with markings somewhat re- 

 sembling Seminole, but much bolder in 

 character. The flesh is brilliant red in 

 color, remarkably crisp, solid, particularly 

 at the heart, of delicious flavor and abso- 

 lutely free from any stringiness. Though 

 of Southern origin, this variety succeeds 

 well in our own trial grounds, and we have 

 no doubt that it will be found successful 

 in almost any section. We confidently rec- 

 ommend it to all our customers. 10c. pkt., 

 15c. oz.. 30c. \i lb , 80c. lb. 

 JORDAN'S GRAY MONARCH. A magnificent variety of long 

 oval shape, attaining a tremendous weight under favorable con- 

 ditions. The outer color is mottled gray. The fieth is of a 

 brilliant rosy red in color, of excellent, fine texture, thoroughly 

 melting and of most delicious flavor 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 

 14 lb., 6O0. lb. 

 SWEETHEART. This sort is a perfect form of the round type 

 of Ice Cream, but is so vastly improved as to make it thoroughly 

 distinct. It is one of the earliest to ripen, making a grand second 

 to our famous Cole's Early. The fruit is slightly oval in shape. 

 The outer color is very bright, beautifully mottled light green. 

 The rind is thin and tough, and stands shipping well, is an ex- 

 cellent keeper and improves in quality after ripening. The flesh 

 is a light vivid red in color, very solid and crisp, and thoroughly 

 melting. The flavor is exquisite, possessing not only sweetness, 

 but that luscious flavor only found in the best sorts. (See cut.) 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. ! 4 ' lb., 60c. lb. 

 MAMMOTH IRONCLAD. Large size ; flesh deep red and of rich 

 flavor, holding its fine quality very close to the skin. For ship- 

 ping and keeping, unsurpassed. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. \ lb., 55c. lb.
