NEW HALBERT 



NEW HALBERT HONEY 

 ! WATERMELON. 



This melon is described by the introducers as 

 follows: .Equaling in flavor and as handsome iD 

 color as the Kleckley Sweets, but more regular Id. 

 form, and much more productive. Growing as long 

 as the Kleckley Sweets, the melons are blunt both, 

 at stem and blossom end, generally free from any 

 appearance of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches 

 in length; 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Color of rind 

 a clear, glossy deep green. The flesh is a beautiful 

 crimson, extending to within less than half an inch* 

 of the rind, which like the flesh is so tender it wllD 

 not stand shipping any distance unless carefully- 

 handled. It is essentially the home melon for the 

 home garden and for local markets. I offer direct 

 headquarters seed that can not be surpassed. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.j ox., 10 cts.; \i lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.0O.

MAMMOTH IRONCLAD. 



MAMMOTH IRONCLAD.— This extra large watermelon is faithfully pictured on this page. 

 It is one of the great commercial melons. The flesh is of prime quality, always solid and never 

 mealy. The heart is very large, and the flesh next to the rind is fully equal in quality to that 

 at the centre, it uniformly grows to greater size with more marketable melons to the acre 

 than any other of the extra large varieties. Ironclad will mostly resist a fall of 3 feet without 

 fracture or even bruise, and is one of the best shippers known. It has excellent lasting qua.i- 

 ties in the field, remaining a month or more on the vines without injury. If taken from the 

 patch early in October will keep until Christmas Crop almost a failure. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; }^ pound, 50 cents.
