THE MUSK MELON FOR THE SOUTH. 



Southern Beauty Canteloupe. 



This is a new introduction of great merit and 

 value. It is of medium size, extraordinarily 

 prolific, very heavily netted, green fleshed and 

 of delicious flavor. 



The Grower says: "It is the finest cante- 

 loupe I have ever planted, particularly suited 

 to the southern climate. It is remarkably free 

 from rot of all sorts, caused by damp or rainy 

 weather, and will hold up a long time after they 

 have ripened, the outer rind remaining firm 

 and sound for at least ten days after the melon 

 first ripens." Again he says : " I shipped these 

 canteloupes last season from this point to Chi- 

 cago, 111., Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, by 

 freight, where they arrived in perfect condi- 

 tion and brought fancy prices." This was 

 proof positive of its fine keeping and shipping 

 qualities.

... Duke Jones Watermelon .... 



In shape the " Duke Jones " resembles very closely the Kolb Gem. The rind is darker green 

 in color, with indistinct irregular stripes of dark and light green alternating ; the general appear- 

 ance is that it is a dark green melon. It averages very large in size, comparatively no small 

 melons, is very productive, it is also very early in maturing, ripe melons being plucked from the 

 vine just 67 days from date of planting. Its chief claim for popularity is its delicious flavor. The 

 flesh is crisp and very sweet, firm but not tough, no hard middles, but ripens evenly throughout, 

 flesh deep crimson in color. Most very large melons are coarse, tough and poorly flavored. The 

 " Duke Jones " is the largest of melons but has no superior in its delicious flavor.
