For the Southern States. 
The Kolb Gem Water Melon. 
It is only two years since this variety has been introduced, but the 
qualities are so fine that most of the melons shipped last year to this 
market were of this variety. It is the best shipping melon cultivated ; 
flesh crimson; very thin but tough rind; fine flavor and full of flesh; 
no hollow in the middle. Itis the heaviest melon for its size. Every- 
body connected with melon culture in this section knows that the only 
reliable seeds for that purpose are the Southern Grown; seeds grown 
North cannot stand the sun so well and will never produce the same 
number of melons, or of as good a quality. 
What I offer are Southern grown, pure, and true to name, of this 
variety. 
Price, $1.75 per pound; 50c. per } lb; 15e. per oz. 
New Velvet Okra. 
A new variety ; dwarf, round, smooth pods, free from ridges and 
seams, and not prickly to the touch, very prolific. I had tried this 
variety last year very thoroughly by some of the best vegetable growers
