New Triumph Watermelon 



This new melon has created quite a furore 

 among Southern 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 the 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 of over 100 lbs. 

 The photograph alongside was made from one 

 taken from our patch, which tipped the scale at 

 90 lbs. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; J lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., 

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

 $3.00 ; 10 lbs. and over, 50c. per lb.
