 dark green color, striped and mottled with light green. Flesh scarlet 

 and of delicious flavor. This is without any exception the best market 

 variety. 



Ice-cream. (White Seeded. ) A medium sized variety of excel- 

 lent quality. It is early and very productive. Bemg thin in the rind 

 it is not so well adapted for the market as the other kinds ; notwith- 

 standing this, it is grown exclusively b3' some for that purpose, on ac- 

 count of its earliness. It has come into general cultivation more and 

 more everv year, as it is verv sweet, and sells readilv in the market.
