RICHARD FROTSCHBR SBED CO., I/td. 



Ou 



ing that section some years ago, Mr. 

 Frotsclier was very favorable impressed with 

 the Uniterm size of the abundant crop of 

 melons. He secured a small quantity of 

 the seed; but by an unfortunate accident 

 lost nearly all of them, excepting a few 

 seeds which he had given for trial to some 

 of his customers who made Melon growing 

 a specialty. It has proven to be the best 

 Melon for this section, either for Market or 

 family use. This Melon is above medium 



and very uniform in size; a prolific bearer, 

 oblong in shape; the rind is of mottled green 

 and black color, somewhat like the Rattle- 

 snake, but darker. The flesh is of a deep 

 red color, solid, crisp and very sweet; in 

 flavor it cannot be excelled by any variety. 

 It is excellent for market as well as for 

 family use. When better known it will be- 

 come one of the leading varieties for the 

 South. Recommend same very highly. 





Lone Star. 



MUSTARD. 



MouTARDE (Fr.). Senf (Ger.), Mostaza (Sp.) Mostardino (Ita.) 



This is grown to quite an extent in the Southern States, and is sown broad-cast dur- 

 ing fall, winter and spring. It may be used the same as Spinach, or boiled with meat as 

 greens. The White or Yellow vSeeded is very little cultivated, and is used chiefly for me- 

 dical purposes, or pickling. The large-leaved or Curled has black seed, a distinct kind 

 from the Northern or European variety. This seed is raised in Louisiana. It makes very 

 large leaves; cultivated more and more every year. 



White or yellow Seeded, 

 Large Leaved Curled, 



I/arge-I^eaved Curled. The favorite 

 kind here, sown largely for the market. 

 Leaves are pale green, large and curled or 

 scalloped on the edges. 



Chinese Very lUarge Cabbage 



Chinese very large Cabbage Leaved. 



I/eaved. A European variety, with light 

 green very large leaves. It has not the 

 same taste as the large-leaved or the large 

 curled, but will stand longer before going 

 to seed. 



Years of experience in the Southern trade g'ives us a superiority over 



our competitors.
