SEMINOLE.—This new Watermelon comes from Florida, 
where it originated with Mr. Girardeau, the originator of the 
Florida Favorite. Mr. Girardeau is one of the largest melon 
growers in the United States, having tested all known varieties, 
and he claims that while his Florida Favorite is a most excellent 
SEMI? ,5 . and desirable variety, that his new Seminole lays on the shelf 
every watermelon at present known. Flesh, a brilliant carmine, very solid, of a rich melting flavor; rind thin, 
but so tough as to make it a most superior shipping and market melon. I am sure my customers will find the 
Seminole will come up to Mr. G.’s recommendation, and I have no doubt that every one who grows this variety

s GRAY MONARCH OR LONG WHITE ICING.—For several years past a few melon growers of New 
Jersey have had a type of the favorite Icing Watermelon, entirely distinct in shape, being oblong, as shown in 
illustration. The skin is of an attractive, mottled, very light green color, so light as to nearly warrant the name 
© white orgray. The flesh is deep red in color, and of very fine quality, fully equal to the old Icing, 
which has long been recognized as one of the finest-flavored melons grown. In size, this new 
© variety is much larger than the old, specimens having been raised to weigh 60 to 70 pounds 
each. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 35 cents; pound, $1.00. 
FLORIDA FAVORITE.—This new melon, also originated by Mr. Girardeau,

@ the same time. Its superior oblong shape, beautiful color, rind being altern- 
ately striped with dark and light green, bright crimson, crisp and deliciously 
sweet flesh, are sure to make it a favorite indeed with every melon grower.

tire satisfaction. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz.,10 cts.; 14 lb., 25 ects.; lb., 75 cts.

G. has this to say about his New Favorite: Gir- 
ardeau’s New Favorite is a great improvement 
on my justly popular and celebrated Florida Fa- 
vorite. It is almost double the Florida in size, 
flesh bright red, crisp and deliciously sweet; also 
more prolific, both ripening about the same 
time, and aresimilarin shape, markings and col- 
orof seed.” PkKt.,5c.; 0z., 10¢c.; 14 1b., 25¢.; 1b., 60c.
