New Water Melon, “PRIDE OF GEORGIA.” 
This new melon, which originated in Monroe Co., Ga., is described 
by the originator, a well known seed-grower of Georzia, as follows: q 
“*T consider this melon par excellence; superior to all melons of 
which we have any knowledge. It is a dark green mottled color, 
nearly oval, ridged like an orange, grows as represented, partly upon 
its end; is firm, will ship well, and when well cultivated in good soil, 
attains a large size.” ' 
*“Whatis claimed for this melon especially above ail others is, i 
that for crispness, sweetness and flavor it stands among all the various I- 
types of melons, at the head of the list.” ‘| 
The seeds I offer are from the originator, and grown in Georgia. t 
Price; per tb, $5.00; per oz., 50c.; by mail, postage paid. | 













New Water Melon, “MAMMOTH IRON-CLAD.”’ I 
This melon originated with a prominent melon-grower in South | 
: 
Delaware, and resembles in its markings the popular Cuban Queen. 
| 
| 



In shape and seed, however, it is quite distinct, being deeper and fuller

| 
| 
| 
| 
| 
at both ends, with seeds of drab-white color. Itgrows uniformly very 
_ large, and is an enormous yielder; flesh very red, and of excellent 


flavor. The rind is extremely tough and hard, thus rendering it valu- 
able for shipping, while its keeping qualities are not surpassed by any 
other melon. 
Price; per ib, $3.00; per oz., 40c.
