Kleckley's Sweet. 



KI>Z:CKZ>i:Y'S sweet. — This is one of [ 

 the best flavored Melons in cultivation 

 and of a shape and color that is extremely j 

 desirable. Tlie rind is very dark green, 

 very thin; flesh deep scarlet, fine and of 

 delicious quality. For the home market 

 and family garden it is decidedly one of 

 the best. Packet, 10c. ; oz., 20c.; ^ lb., 

 50c.; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 



STECKZiES'S ANGEL KISS. — Its popu- 

 larity is now extended throughout the 

 entire country. It grows medium to very 

 large in size, often weighing forty to sixty 

 pounds and twenty-five to thirty inches in 

 length. The color is a silver-gray, hand- 

 some and attractive. It is a very strong 

 and vigorous grower. One distinct feature 

 of this melon is that the flesh is a good 

 deep red by the time the seeds are formed 

 in it often before the melon is really 

 grown. It has few seeds, possibly less 

 than any other watermelon. Packet, 10c. ; 

 oz., 30c.; 14 lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 



MARIE Z.OUISE. — This is one of the 

 finest varieties introduced. It is a cross 

 between the Lone • Star and Florida's 

 Favorite, shape similar to the latter but 

 larger, just as early, are far superior than 

 either. Dark striped, thin rind and flesh 

 red and very succulent, ripening almost to 

 the rind. The seed resembles that of. the 

 Lone Star, but is darker in color. We had 

 som.e of the melons weighing from 20 to 25 

 pounds. Recommend them highly. Packet, 

 10c. ; oz., 20.; 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25, post- 

 paid. 



EXCEI. WATERMELON.— This is the 

 shippers' melon. It is well adapted to 

 Southern conditions and for a shippin.g 

 melon it can't be beat. The rind is tough 

 and will withstand the roughest use in 

 transit, besides being a heavy cropper. It 

 is a large, long, dark green melon with 

 faint stripes making a quick seller on the 

 market. Flesh red, very crisp, solid and a 

 wonderful early medium shipper. Packet, 

 10c. ; oz., 15c.; V4 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50, post- 

 ■Daid.
