JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 



Frame's 1^\ac\{=c^zd Susan Wa termelon 



EVERY ONE A GOOD ONE 



We purchased last season the control of this 

 new watermelon from the originator, Hon. Paynter 

 Frame, of Delaware, who has probably originated 

 jnore varieties of watermelon, that have become 

 leading standard sorts, than any other hybridizer 

 in America. In describing it we quote from the 

 •originator as folio ws : " Black-ej-ed Susan is a cross 

 between 'Kolb Gem,' 'Jumbo' and Johnson's 

 'Dixie;' tough rind, handsome red flesh, like 

 Johnson's 'Dixie,' but even more delicious; not 

 the least stringy, and will reach a very large size" 

 Customers who planted it last spring, so far as we 

 have heard, fully endorse all Mr. Frame claims for it. 



Each seed has a large black eye, hence the 

 name given it. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; Jib., 35c.; lb., 

 ^1.25.

The Klccl<lc\? Sweets Watermelon 



We sent out this new melon 

 last spring, and reports from all 

 ^ectionsconfirm ittobe justwhat 

 the originator, Mr. W. A. Kleck- 

 ley, of Alabama, claims for it — 

 one of the best and sweetest- 

 flavored watermelons in cultiva- 

 tion. The shape is well shown 

 in our photograph alongside ; 

 skin dark green, thin rind, flesh 

 scarlet, very solid, firm and most 

 luscious quality. It is not a 

 shipper, but for the home mar- 

 ket or family garden it is decid- 

 edly one of the best. Seed 

 •grown by the originator. Pkt., 

 -5c.; oz., 15c.; i lb., 35c.; lb., 

 :$1.25, postpaid.
