ANGEL'S KISS WATERMELON. 



401 



Angel's Kiss Watermelon 



Angel's Kiss originated with one of the largest Southern melon growers. It is a handsome melon of large oblong shape, 'which is well 

 shown in the illustration herewith. The llesh is bright red, solid, firm and of melting flavor. The vine is a remarkablj- strong, vigorous 

 gi-ower and a heavy bearer of large mottled, silver gray melons with very tough thin rind. The melons measure from 20 to BO inches in 

 length, with an average weight of from 30 to 40 pounds each, ripening through and through and is one of the very earliest good melons in 

 cultivation. The seed is pure white. In conclusion we would say that growers for market will find Angel's Kiss a rapid seller, a good shipper 

 and a melon that will be called for to the exclusion of other sorts by customers after they have once sampled it. Our supply of seed of this 

 haudsome melon has been grown for us by the originator. 



Packet, 10 ceiits; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.23, postpaid.

Shaker Blue 



This is a large melon of handsome appearance. The rind is 

 dark green striped with narrow bands of lighter green, but 

 when ready for shipping has a solid dark green appearance. 

 It grows to huge size, averaging when well grown from 40 to 50 

 pounds each. In addition to this it is a melon of delicious fla- 

 vor, and frequently produces melons as large as 60 to 80 pounds 

 each, Its bright red flesh being of tempting appearance. The 

 vines are of vigorous growth and so thrifty as to insure a heavy 

 crop. This melon will also be found entirely satisfactory as a 

 long distance shipper. 



Pitt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; ]4 lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



419 Apple Pie Citron Melon 



This citron melon has fruit very similar to the water- 

 melon but the flesh is used exclusively for sauces, pies 

 and preserving, etc., having a most delicious flavor, 

 resembling somewhat the flavor of apples. The flesh is 

 white and solid. Each vine jiroduces 5 to 15 melons so 

 filled with fruit that a large sized one will make as 

 many pies as a half bushel of apples. They keep fresh 

 and solid all winter, so can be used when wanted, and 

 owing to their value as stock food, any surplus not used 

 for home cooking can be fed all winter to stock. It will 

 pay to raise them for this purpose alone. 



THE DIXIE WATERMELON. 



The Dixie 



402 



A watermelon of highest quality and value. The size is large, specimens 

 weighing 50 lbs. being not infrequent. The flesh is scarlet, very fine and extra 

 firm. A noteworthy and very valuable feature of this watermelon is the fact 

 that the rind, though thin, is almost impenetrable, giving it remarkable keep- 

 ing quality. It is one of the best shipping melons grown, being even larger, 

 earlier and far more productive than the Kolb's Gem, which has heretofore 

 been considered the best melon for shipping. The Dixie is one of the most pro- 

 lific known, often producing on a single vine, 6 to S large oblong shaped mel- 

 ons, of a dark green color, striped lighter green. A vigorous grower.
