FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES.

It is the heaviest melon for its size. What I 

 offer are Southern grown seeds. 



Florida's Favorite. This Melon 

 originated with W. M. Girardeau, of Monti- 

 cello, Fla. It is an excellent variety, very 

 prolific, earlier than the Kolb Gem, Eattlo- 



snake or Pride of Georgia, and very fine for 

 the tal)le. It is not as good for shipping as 

 the Kolb Gem, or Eattlesnake; it is of medium 

 size, colorcid with light and dark green stripes 

 alternately, flesh deep red, deliciously sweet, 

 very firm and crisp. One of the best Melons. 



Pi-ide of Georgia 



Kolb's Gem.
