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 flesh is bright red, solid, firm and of melting flavor. The vine is a remarkably 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 30 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 

 handsome melon has been grown for us by the originator. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; qnarter pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.35, postpaid.

HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON. 



Halbert Money 



This melon is as handsome in color as the Kleckley 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 blossom end, generally free from any 

 appearance of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches in length; 6 to 8 inches in 

 diameter. Color of rind a clear, glossy deep green. The flesh is a beautiful 

 crimson, extending to within less than half an inch of the rind, w'hich, 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 garden and for local 

 markets. We ofl'er direct headquarters seed that cannot be surpassed. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 4- pound, 30 cents; pound, 90 cents.

BABY DELIGHT WATERMELON. 



Baby I>eliglit 



This variety is a wonderful cropper, producing 

 small delicious melons of a luscious sweet flavor. 

 The ripe melons will average three to six pounds 

 each. The dark green rind is thin but strong. The 

 flesh is always solid, sweet and of a rich carmine 

 color. It has very small seeds, somewhat resem- 

 bling the apple seeds, only gray in color. The vines 

 grow vigorously and the dense foliage often con- 

 ceals the melons. It is an abundant cropper, ma- 

 turing early and continues to produce small melons 

 throughout the season. An ideal garden sort. Try 

 this novel and attractive melon and we are sure 

 you will be more than pleased with them. 

 Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents, postpaid.

Peerless or Ice Cream 



A watermelon which we 

 strongly recommend for 

 home market or garden 

 culture. Of good size. Color 

 mottled green. Flesh rich 

 scarlet and sweet; rind thin. 

 Vine is very productive. 

 Being thin in the rind, it is 

 not so well adapted for ship- 

 ping to the market. Kot- 

 withstanding it is grown ex- 

 clusively by some for market 

 on account of its earliness. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 

 10 cents; J^ pound, 20 

 cents; pound, 65 cents.
