WATERMELON. 



German, Wasser-Melone. 



(one ounce of seed to thirty hills.) 



Watermelons require a rich, sandy soil for best devel- 

 opment. Cultivate the same as for canteloupes, except 

 that the hills should be eight to ten feet apart. 



1.IGHT ICING.— Light green mottled, very large: 

 flesh deep red, splendid quality; one of the largest and 

 finest melons. 



Pkt. 5 and 10 cts. i Its. 15 cts. lb. 40 cts. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE.— This we consider the 

 richest and sweetest flavored melon grown, of medium 

 size and prolific. The best of all for family garden. It is 

 now very popular with the truckers and melon growers- 

 of Maryland and Virginia, and sells readily in the Balti- 

 more market. 



Pkt. 5 and 10 cts. \ lb. 15 cts. lb. 40 cts. 



GIRARDEAU'S FAVORITE.— This is an im- 

 provement on the Florida Favorite, resembling it very 

 much, but larger.

KOLB'S GEM:.— This is one of the largest, most 

 productive, best keeping and best shipping Melons grown. 

 Sells readily at the highest market price. In fact, it is so 

 well known that it speaks for itself. Our stock of this 

 comes direct from the original grower. Special prices on 

 large quantities.

 claims to be the best ever introduced. (See description 

 page 5.)

THE JONES.— This is a splendid Melon. The 

 color of the skin is solid green, and the flesh is a very 

 bright red, particularly sweet, juicy and melting. It 

 grows to a large size, frequently attaining the weight of 

 eighty pounds. In shape it resembles Kolb's Gem, and, 

 like that variety, is one of the best shipping sorts. 



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 fully 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 Melons 

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