ANGEL’S 
» Angel’s Kiss 
This fine watermelon originated in Texas and my attention was first 
directed to it on account of its most remarkable name. After giving it 
a thorough trial at Panmure [ have come to the conclusion there is 
only one objection to this superb melon and that is its name. Angel’s 
Kiss originated with one of the largest Southern melon growers who 
named it Angel’s Kiss on account of its delicious flavor. Up to date it 
has only been grown to a limited extent among market growers in the 
State of Texas. It is entirely distinctive and a handsome melon of 
large oblong shape, which is weli shown in the illustration herewith 
KISS WATERMELON. 
Watermelon 
a heavy bearer of large mottled, silver gray melons with very tough 
thin rind. The melons measure from 20 to 30 inches in length, with an 
average weight of from 80 to 40 pounds each, ripening through and 
through and is one of the very earliest good melons in cultivation. 
It is thoroughly distinctive and the melons are most attractive; 
whether in the field or on the market stall, attracting attention at 
all times. The seed is pure white. In conclusion I would say that 
growers for market will find Angel’s Kiss a rapid seller, a good ship- 
per and a melon that will be called for to the exclusion of other sorts 
taken from a photograph. The flesh is bright red, solid, firm and of 
melting flavor. The vine is a remarkably strong vigorous grower and 
by customers after they have once sampled it. 
been grown for me by the originator and is limited.

402 THE DIXIK.—A watermelon of highest quality and value. The size is large, specimens 
weighing 50 lbs. being not infrequent. The flesh is scarlet, very fine and extra firm. A note- 
worthy and very valuable feature of this watermelon is the fact that the rind, though thin is 
almost impene- 
trable, giving it 
remarkable 
keeping quality. 
The variety is 
one of the most 
prolific known, 
often producing 
6 to 8 large mel- 
ons on a Single 
vine. The vines 
root at the joints, 
and thus become 
more drought re- 
sisting and vig- 
orous. Pkt., 5c.3
