Black Boulder Watermelon 



For this grand new and distinct watermelon we are in- 

 debted to Aaron Paul, the veteran melon grower of New 

 Jersey. It is enormously productive, reaching a mammoth 

 size, with rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any market 

 melon we have ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are 

 phenomenal, no other melon equaling it in tough skin and 

 rind, in this respect even superior to Kolb Gem. While it is 

 fast becoming one of the leading melons for market, it is one 

 of the best "all round" melons in existence, and for the 

 family garden it is also without a peer. Pkt., 5e.; oz., lOc; 

 Mlb., 30e.; lb., Sl.OO. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK SEED. Saved from 

 picked melons. Pkt., lOc; oz.,20c.; i^ lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00.

 New Jersey trucker, after 

 many years of careful 

 study and selection. Its 

 productiveness is simply 

 wonderful. The pods 

 shoot out from the stalk 

 within three inches of 

 the ground, and the 

 whole plant is covered 

 with them to theextreme 

 height of the plant. The 

 pods are an intense green 

 color, of unusual length, 

 eight to nine inches, very 

 slim, and do not get hard, 

 as is the case with other 

 okras. It is also much 

 sought after by canueis, 

 being the best of all 

 green sorts for canning 

 for winter use. Our seed 

 is grown by the origin-
