NEW NATIONAL WATERMELON 



NEW NATIONAL. 



The reason that this fine, new watermelon received the name of Na- 

 tional was because of Its proven ability to flourish almost anywhere, 

 even in districts where waterinelous are not usually grown. 



The National is a watermelon of medium to large size and of 

 high table quality. It is of southern origin, but thrives well in the 



North. In shape It is oblong. The outside color is pale, with darl 

 markings, resembling Seminole, but with markings more distinct 

 The flesh is brilliant red in color, and remarkably solid; so solid, ii 

 fact, that a JO-pound National watermelon does not appear to b 

 much larger than a Seminole weighing only 2o pounds. The flavor i 

 delicious, and the flesh is entirely stringless." The rind, though thin, 1 

 very tough, insuring good shipping qualities. 



Paclcet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; quarter-ponnd, HO cents; ponnd, ^5 cents.

ICEBERG. 



It may be described as a distinctly improved form of the old cele- 

 brated Kolb's Gem, which has never been excelled as a shipper. It 

 resembles Kolb's Gem in shape, size and appearance, but is darker 

 In color, both outside and Inside. Where it rests upon the ground it is 

 yellow, while Kolb's Gem is white. The outside of 

 the new melon is dark green, with lighter mark- 

 ings, but the general effect is dark. The flesh is 

 deep red and very sweet. The rind is compara- 

 tively thin, but remarkably tough and not disposed 

 to crack. I recommend iceberg for shipment to 

 distant inarkets. The excellence of Kolb's Gem, 

 especially as a profitable shipper. Is so well known 

 that Iceberg should at once be in very wide demand 

 for commercial purnoses. 



Packet, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 14 lb., 20 cts.; lb., 7.5c. 



CAROLINA BRADFORD. 



A splendid melon for home use, maturing in about 

 85 days. It is quite like thefamousold Joe Johnson 

 in shape and markings. It is a large, long melon, 

 of dark green color, with darker stripes. The red 

 flesh is sweet and melting, and of excellent texture. 

 The seeds are white. It has a strong vine and is 

 verv productive,and Is in high esteem where known. 

 Packet, 5 cents: ounce. 10 cents; 

 '4 pound. 25 cents: pound, 90 cents 



ALABAMA SWEET. 



Alabama Sweet is a dark green melon with light seeds. It is fir 

 class for shipping purposes. It is of good size, though not ungainly 11 

 Triumph. Its flavor is simply delicious, and its outside appearance 

 attractive. Its size and shape are such as to make it a flrst-rate busin . 

 melon. It is to be emphatically recommended for the South, wheri; 

 has been fully tested; and I am confident that it will be a prize wini: 

 in the North, in all melon growing sections. '
