.KIHNSON S IJIXIE WATERMELON. 



BLACK BOULDER— The Great Shipping Watermelon 



For this grand new and distinct watermelon we are indebted to the late Aaron Paul. 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. 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., ]Oc.;ilb., bOc; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 



GENUINE JOHNSON'S DIXIE WATERMELON 



The true Johnson's Dixie is a cross between the Kolb Gem and Old Fashioned Mountain Sweet, 



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

 Florida Favorite in superior eating quality, 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 sold for it. If you want quality and genuine seed, send to the Introducers. Price, per pkt., 5c. ; oz. ,

A. G. Fell, Chatham, Pa., September, 1905, writes: "I 

 always get from you better seed and more for the money 

 than I do from other houses." 



Mrs. S. W. Caw, Ferres, Tex., February 22, 1904, writes: 

 "I would like you to know that I have had splendid success 



with your seeds. I have been a customer of yours for eigh- 

 teen years, and never failed once to have a good garden." 



D. Stees, High Falls, N. Y., February ?, 1905, writes : " I 

 have bought from you ten years or more, and have always 

 found your seed first-class in every respect."
