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 appearance 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.

SOUTHERN BEAUTY OANTELOURE. 



THE MUSK MELON FOR THE SOUTH. 



This is a new introduction of great merit and 

 value. It is of medium size, extraordinarily pro- 

 lific, very heavily netted, green fleshed and of 

 delicious flavor. 



The Grower says : " It is the finest canteloupe 

 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 Chicago, 111., 

 Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, by freight, 

 where they arrived in perfect condition and 

 brought fancy prices." This was proof positive 

 of its fine keeping and shipping qualities.
