CQclver's lUonderfal Sugap CUatepmelon. 



A LONE STAR. WEIGHING 932 ^^BS. 



This new ■watermelon -was first brought to 

 notice by Col. E. R. Mclver, of North Carolina, 

 the seed ha\-ing come originally from the West 

 Indies. In outward appearance it somewhat resem- 

 bles the old Rattlesnake. The qualitj', however, 

 is so much superior that it is an injustice to men- 

 tion the Rattlesnake on the same page with it, as 

 it even surpasses such excellent varieties as Flor- 

 ida Favorite and Icing. It is also an extremely 

 productive and hard}' varietj', never cracking or 

 losing its fine flavor in the wettest seasons. Per 

 pkt., loc; oz., 2oc.; X lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50.

..fDuskmelon. 



See photograph in colors on back of this hook. 



A magnificent new melon from Texas. It 

 surpasses all others in its luscious, thick salmon- 

 colored flesh, and fine, large size. A Lone Star, 

 owing to its unusually thick flesh, ^^•ill weigh 

 nearly double that of any other melon of the same 

 size. It is free from ribs, and finely netted, as 

 shown in photograph alongside. Although of 

 Southern origin, it succeeds well in the most 

 Northern States, and stands handling and ship- 

 ment without losing its fine appearance. Pkt., 

 loc; oz., 20c.; '4 lb., 60C. ; lb., 52.00.
