THE HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON 



This melon originated in Texas, and we are convinced that it is one of the best melons ever grown 

 for private use or nearby markets. The rind is thin, and will not hold for shipping any great distance. 

 As the name indicates, the beautiful crimson flesh of this melon is probably sweeter than any other 

 variety in cultivation, surpassing even the famous Kleckley Sweets. It has scarcely any pulp, and is 

 very melting. It is long, dark green, slightly ridged, blunt at both blossom and stem ends, and runs 

 from 16 to 30 inches in length. There are earlier melons, but they cannot complete with this variety 

 after it is ready for market. It uniformly demands the highest price. It is more productive than any 

 other variety we have seen, in all combining so many good points that we feel that it is a valuable 

 addition to our list of melons. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; J lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 



SPECIMEN OF Paul's bonny best — ripened in 62 days. 



Paul's Bonny Best Watermelon 



The earliest watermelon in cultivation. It 

 originated with the late Aaron Paul, the famous 

 New Jersey melon grower and hybridizer. In our 

 trials in past seasons we had good-sized melons, 

 plenty large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each, 

 on July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while 

 most other varieties could not be eaten until about 

 August Ist. Flesh red, deliciously sweet, with but 

 few seeds. Pkt.,, 10c. ; oz., 20c.; i lb., 50c.; lb., $1.50. 



New Triumph Watermelon 



This new melon has created quite a furore 

 among shippers on account of the very high prices 

 realized by those who have grown them. Triumph 

 is a cross between the Duke Jones and KolbGem. 

 having the handsome dark green color of the former 

 and the fine shipping qualities of the latter, but 

 infinitely superior in flavor and grows much larger 

 than either, having been known to attain a weight 

 of over 100 lbs. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; i lb., 25c.; lb., 

 75c., postpaid ; by express or freight, lb., 65c.; 5 lbs. 

 and over, 60c. per lb.
