WATERMELONS, continued 



Blacll Boulder. Great shipping Melon. 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 e.xistence, and for the family garden it is also 

 without a peer. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Klb. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts., postpaid. 



This famous " sweetest of all " Watermelons 

 has become very popular. Of superb lus- 

 cious flavor, very fine-grained and tender meat. The fruits are of large size. The 

 rind is very thin and brittle, splitting ahead of the knife when cutting. Pkt. 5c., 

 oz. 10 cts., ]^\h. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



The Halbert Honey. This melon originated in Te-x-as The rind 



^— IS thm, and will not hold for shipping any 



great distance. It has scarcely any pulp, and is verj' melting. It is long, dark 

 green, slightly ridged, blunt at both blossom and stem ends and runs from 15 to 

 30 inches in length. There are earlier melons, but they cannot compete 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. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., J^lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



The earliest Watermelon in cultivation. Origi- 

 nated 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 pounds each, on 

 July 10, from seed planted May 9, while most other varieties could not be eaten 

 until about August i. Flesh red, deliciously sweet, with but few seeds. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^Ib. 30 cts., lb. $1.
