/^^GENUINE JOHNSON'S DIXIE WATERMELON

and surpasses the Kolb Gem in shipping qualities, and fully equals the Mountain Sweet in superior eat- 

 ing quality and is ten days earlier than either. Its great productiveness is shown from the fact that 

 it frequently matures six to eight large melons to the vine. Owing to the great popularity of this 

 variety, another and much inferior meloa is frequently substituted and sold for it. If you want genuine
