 oflFered for eale for the first time two years since, is 

 the earliest watermelon in cultivation. It origina- 

 ted with our friend Aaron Paul, the famous New 

 Jersey melon grower and hybridizer. In our trials 

 in past seasons we had good-sized melons, plenty 

 large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each, on 

 July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while most 

 other varieties could not be eaten until about 

 August 1st. Seed crop very short. Pkt., 10c. ; oz.,

KLKCKLEY SWEETS WATBBMELON, GBOWN BY MB. KLECKLEY. 



i! j/Kleckley Sweets Watermelon 



Reports from all sections confirm this new 

 watermelon to be just what the originator, Mr. W. 

 A. Kleckley, of Alabama, claims for it — the best and 

 sweetest-flavored large watermelon in cultivation. 

 The shape is well shown in photograph above, 

 made from a specimen grown by the originator ; 

 skin dark green, thin rind, flesh scarlet, very solid, 

 firm and most luscious quality. For the home 

 market or family garden it is decidedly one of the 

 best. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 10c. ; i lb., 30c. ; lb., 11.00. 



Boulder Watermelon 



For this grand new and distinct watermelon 

 we are indebted to Aaron Paul, the veteran melon 

 grower of New Jersey. It is enormously produc- 

 tive, reaching a mammoth size, with rich, dark 

 green skin. It cuts equal to any market melon we 

 have ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are 

 phenomenal, no other melon equaling it in tough 

 skin and rind, in this respect even superior to 

 Kolb Gem. While it is fast becoming one of the 

 leading melons for market, it is one of the best " all 

 round" melons in existence, and for the family 

 garden it is also without a peer. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 

 10c. ; \\h., 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK SEED. Save d 

 from picked melons. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; Jib., 

 60c.; 1^$2.00. 



J^New Triumph Watermelon 



This new melon has created quite a furore 

 among Southern shippers on account of the very 

 high prices realized by those who have grown 

 them. Triumph is a cross between the Duke 

 Jones and Kolb Qem, having the handsome dark 

 green color of the former and the fine shipping 

 qualities of the latter, but infinitely superior in 

 flavor and grows much larger than either, having 

 been known to attain a weight of over 100 Iba. The 

 photograph below was made from one taken from 

 our patch, which tipped the scale at 90 lbs. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., lOc; \ lb , 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid; by ex- 

 press or freight, lb., 65c. ; 6 lbs. and over, 60c. per lb.
