uiiiL'i.i j-i.'ii La...L Melon. 



Ivolb Gem Melon. 



The Kolb Gem. OdIv a few 3-ears since this variety has been 

 introdiicecl, but the shipping qualities are so good, that the bulk of 

 melons raised for the market are of that kind. Flesh crimson, very 

 thin but tough rind: fine flavor and full of flesh, no hollow in the 

 middle. It is the heaviest melon for its size. "\i^'hat I offer are Southern 

 grown seeds, which stand the sun better and produce larger and more 

 Melons than Northern grown seeds.
