stand shipment on the cars. The vines

the rind is of mottled green and black 
color, somewhat like the Rattle Snake, but 
of darker green. The flesh is of a deep 
red color; solid, crisp and very sweet in 
flavor. It cannot be excelled by any 
variety. It is one of the leading varieties

the rind. The seed resembles that of the 
Lone Star, but is darker in color. We had

pounds. Recommend them highly. Packet,

STECKLER’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.; % Ib., 50c.; 1lb., $1.50; 5 lbs., $7.00, 
postpaid.
