NEW SCALY BARK 
WATERMELON. — This 
melon was first brought 
prominently - before the 
public notice at the Atlanta 
Exhibition in 1881. One 
peculiarity it has especially 
and it is a very important 
one, namely: it remains 
in choice eating condi- 
tion from ten to fifteen 
days after being pulled. 
This makes it most valuable 
to shippers, as in addition it 
IMPROVED ODELLA.—Grown in the great 
South Jersey melon district by the hundred acres 
as the earliest market variety. Color, alight green, 
with thin, but tough rind, making it a good shipper. 
Readily weighs thirty to forty pounds. Pkt., 5 ets.; 
oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 25 ets.; Ib., 80 cts.; 5 Ibs., $8.00. 
ICE CREAM.—tThere are few more excellent 
melons than the genuine White Seeded Ice 
Cream. Should be planted by all desiring a first- 
class long melon. Skin, pale green; rind, very 
thin ; flesh, scarlet, solid, crisp and delicious. Pkt., 
5 ets.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 30 cts., lb., $1.00. 
PEERLESS. 
PEERLESS.—An excellent sort for garden cul- 
tivation. Size, medium; color, a mottled green; 
flesh, a rich searlet; thin rind; sweet and produc- 
tive. Pkt.,5cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % Ib., 25cts.; Ib., 75 cts. 
Excelsior.—One of the largest. Pkt.,5cts.; oz., 
10 cts.; 44 lb., 25 cts.; 1b., 75 cts, 
has a very tough though 
thin rind. Already many 
growers think on account of 
this quality it will at once 
displace many other varie- 
ties. The flesh is light crim- 
son, solid, tender, and of 
fine flavor. Skin is 
although smooth, looks as 
if covered with fish scales. 
After a thorough trial, on 
almost two acres, I recom- 
mend Scaly Bark to mycus- 
tomers, especially those in 
the South shipping melons 
to our Northern markets. 
Pkt., 5 ets.; oz., 10 ets.; 4 
Ib., 25 ets.; lb., 90 cts. 
COLORADO PRESERVING MELON. 
COLORADO PRESERVING MELON.— 
Quite distinct from the ordinary preserving citron. 
It is immensely productive, one vine produced 
fifty-five fine melons, weighiug from fifteen to 
forty pounds each, and even in the dry season of 
1881, it made a growth fully ten times as large as 
the ordinary citron. Flesh is very firm and solid. 
Preserving qualities are the very finest. It makes 
beautiful, clear, nearly transparent preserves 
of surpassing flavor. Pkt.,10 cts.; oz.,25 cts.; 4]b., 
75 ets.; Ib., $2.50.
