DIXIE.- This new melon came to us with the highest 

 recommendations as to its productive and shipping qual- 

 ities, and our experience with it has fullv borne out all 

 that was claimed for it. Its eating quality is equal to the 

 best. It is earlier and larger than the well-known and 

 popular Kolb-Gem, and in color a darker green, with 

 beautiful stripes, making it one of the handsomest Melon* 

 on the market. Flesh deep red, sugary and melting.
