TRUE DARK ICING A nearly round watermelon, with very thin rind. The seeds are 



white. The flesh is solid and of delicious sweetness. An excellent shipper, notwithstanding 

 its thin rind. 1 know this to be one of the most desirable melons on the market. Packet, 

 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; 14 pound, 25 cents ; pound, 75 cents. 



THE DIXIE.— A watermelon of highest quality and value. The size is large, specimen* 

 weighing 60 lbs. being not infrequent. The flesh Is scarlet, very fine and extra firm. A note- 

 worthy and very valuable feature of this watermelon is the fact that the rind, though thin Is 

 almost impenetrable, giving it remarkable keeping quality. The variety is one of the most pro- 

 lific known, often producing 6 to 8 large melons on a single vine. The vines root at the Joints, 

 and thus become 



more drought re- THE DIXIE, 



sisting and vigor- 

 ous. Plit., 5 CIS.;

SEMINOLE. 



SEMINOLE.— A large and very productive 

 early watermelon. Color usually gray; some- 

 times a light green. Flesh carmine; of good 

 quality and flavor. The rind is very thin, but 

 so tough as to make the melon a most excel- 

 lent shipper. Gray and green melons borne 

 on the same vine. One of the most popular 

 watermelons on this page. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 

 10 cts.; 1^ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



NEW HALBERT HONEY, — This new 



melon is described by the introducers as 

 follows: Equaling in flavor and as handsome 

 in color as the Kleok'ey Sweets, but more 

 regular in form, and much more productive. 

 Growing as long as the Kleckley Sweets, 

 the melons are blunt both at stem and blos- 

 som end, generally free from any appearatxre 

 of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches in 

 length; 6 to 8 inches iu diameter. Color of 

 rind a clear, glossy deep green. The flesh is a 

 beautiful crimson, e.xteuding 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 gar- 

 den and for local markets. I offer direct 

 headquarters seed that can not be surpassed. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 1^ lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



FLORIDA FA 4 o-iii'ii.— A beautiful melon, with dark and light green exterior. Shape ob- 

 long, p^lesh bright crimson, crisp and deliciously sweet. Ripens ahead of Kolb's Gem, Ironclad 

 or Rattlesnake. A good shipper. Sample specimens of this melon sent me from Florida always 

 reach Philadelphia in prime condition. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce. 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts.
