Paul's Bonny Best Watermelon 



The earliest watermelon in cultivation. It 

 originated with the late Aaron Paul, the famous 

 New Jersey melon grower and hybridizer. In our 

 trials in past seasons we had good-sized melons, 

 plenty large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each, 

 on July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while 

 most other varieties could not be eaten untii about 

 August 1st. Flesh red, deliriously sweet, with but 

 few" seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; J lb., 55c; lb., $1.70. 



New Triumph Watermelon 



This new melon has created quite a furore 

 among shippers on account of the very high prices 

 realized by those who have grown them. Triumph 

 is a cross between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem, 

 having the handsome dark green color of th e former 

 and the fine shipping qualities of the latter, but 

 infinitely superior in flavor and grows much larger 

 than either, having been known to attain a weight 

 ofoverlOOlbs. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; J lb., 25c; lb., 

 75c, postpaid; by express or freight, lb., 65c; 5 lbs- 

 and over, 60c per lb.
