For the SoutJiern States. 



Orang^c Water. Quite a distinct variety from the others. The 

 rind can be peeled off the same as the skin of an orange. It is of me- 

 dium size, fair quality. Very little cultivated. 



Rattle Snake. An old Southern variety which has come into 

 notice of late years. It is of large size, the green not qiMte so dark as 

 the Gipsey, but the stripes larger ; fine market variety. It stands 

 transportation better than most other kinds; has been the standard 

 market variety till t-he Kolb's Gem was introduced. However, it al- 

 ways will remain a favorite with market-gardeners. The seed I offer 

 of this variety, is grown for me by one of the best growers in Georgia. 

 It is of the purest strain that can be found. 



Cuban l^neen, A striped variety; highly recommended by 

 Northern seedsmen ; said to reach from fifty to seventy pounds. 

 Sweet and of delicate flavor ; it does not grow as large here as said it 

 does North. 



Maiiiniotli lr$»n Clad. A nev*/- variety; highly recommended 

 North. It did not do as well as Southern raised seed. I have the seed 

 now grown in Florida, and, no doubt, will give better satisfaction. 



Pride of Georgia. A new Melon from Georgia, of excellent 

 quality; attains a large size when well cultivated. A very good vari- 

 ety for family use.
