HOOSIER 



Hoosier King. Diirin}? the past ten years a large num- 

 ber of excellent varieties of the Watermelon have been 

 introduced but, of the many, none have excelled the 

 Hoosier King. It Avas originated in the southern part 

 of Indiana by an experienced melon grower who has 

 catered to the Chicago and Indianopolis markets for 

 over a generation. He l egards this as the A^ery best all- 

 purpose melon ever yet introduced. It is the best ship- 

 per laiown, and is also a very showy melon ; pi'esenting 

 a beautiful aj)pearance both in the field and the mar- 

 ket. These are excellent qualities for the gardener, but 

 when we refer to the brilliant red flesh, the delicious, 

 sugajy flavor and its melting qualities, it can I'eadily 

 be seen that it is unequalled for home use. We know it 

 is a first class melon in every l espect. and confidently 

 recommend it for all x>Lirposes. AVhile not so well 

 kno\^ n as Kolb Gem or Dixie, it v. ill not be any risk to 

 grow it in preference. LS('/' illnstraf ion. Pkt., 5c; oz,.
