HALBERT HONEY 
WATERMELON, 
This melon is described by the introducerg as 
follows: Equaling in flavor and as handsome ih 
color as the Kleckley Sweets, but more regular in 
form, and much more productive. Growing as long 
as the Kkleckley Sweets, the melons are blunt both 
at stem and blossom end, generally free from any 
appearance of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches 
in length; 6 toS inches in diameter. Color of rind 
a clear, glossy deep green. The flesh is a beautifuk 
crimson, extending to within less than half an inch 
of the rind, which like the flesh is so tender it will 
not stand shipping any distance unless carefully 
handled. It is essentially the home melon for the 
home garden and for local markets. I offer direct 
headquarters seed that can not be surpassed.

MAMMULH IMONCLAD WATERMELON 
MAMMOTH IRONCLAD. 
This extra large watermelon is faithfully pictured on this page. Itis one of the great com- 
mercial melons. The flesh is of prime quality, always solidand never mealy. The heart is very 
large, and the flesh next to the rind is fully equal in quality to that at the centre. It uni- 
formly grows to greater size with more marketable melons to the acre than any other of the 
extra large varieties. Ironclad will mostly resist a fall of 3 feet without fracture or even 
bruise, and is one of the best shippers known. It has excellent lasting qualities in the field, 
remaining a month or 
more on the vines without 
injury. If taken from the 
patch early in October will 
keep until Christmas. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
10 cts.; 4 pound, 30 cts.;
