BLACK BOI'LDEB WATERMELON. 



TBUE JOHNSON'S DIXIE WATEBMELON. 



BLACK BOULDER— The Great Shipping Watermelon 



For this grand new and distinct watermelon we are also indebted to the lute Aaron Paul. It is 

 enormously productive, reacliing 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. While it has rapidly become 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., 

 5c.; oz.,10c.;}lb., 30c.: lb., $1.00. 



EXTRA SELECTED STOCK SEED. Saved entirely from picked melons. The largest and finest 

 in our patch. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; i lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



GENUINE JOHNSON'S DIXIE WATERMEL ON 



The true Johnson's Dixie is a cross between the Kolb Qem and 01d=Fashioned Mountain Sweet, 



and surpasses the Kolb Gem in shipping qualities, and fully equals the Mountain Sweet, Kleckley and 

 Florida Favorite in superior eating qualitVj and is ten days earlier than any of them. Its great pro- 

 ductiveness is shown from the fact that it frequently matures six to eight large melons to the vine. 

 Owing to the great popularity of this variety, another and much inferior melon is frequently substituted 

 and soldforit. If you want quality and genuine seed, send to the introducers. Pkt., 5c.; oz , lOc; ^ lb.,
