narris t-ariiest. ^^-^ ^^^^^ introduced 



about 1900. The fruits are quite large for a 

 variety maturing so early. They are oval in 

 shape with irregular, mottled stripes of light 

 and dark green. The quality of the flesh is ex- 

 cellent. It is especially suited to culture in the 

 more northerly latitudes. This type of melon is 

 sometimes sold under the name of Cole's Early, 

 which is a smaller melon. For a number of years 

 a melon grown by the late Aaron Paul was sold as 

 Paul's Earliest. Seed black. Price, large pkt. lOc, 

 oz. 15c., i/4lb. 30c., lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.50, delivered. 



Irish Grey, variety was introduced commer- 

 cially about 1920, and in the comparatively short 

 time it has been on the market it has become a 

 very popular shipping melon. In shape it is 

 similar to the Kleckley and Watson, but the out- 

 side is a light yellow-grey. The rind is remarkably 

 firm and hard. The inside flesh is bright red, of 

 delicious flavor, and entirely free from stringiness 

 and hard center. Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 15c., V4lb. 30c., lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.50, delivered. 



Kleckley Sweet. t^XceTC'Tmmbel/^ 



Beebee, San Francisco, Calif., 1898. A melon of 

 thin rind. Its flesh is of the most delicious 

 quality. We do not advocate Kleckley for ship- 

 ment from the South or from Texas, as it will 

 not hold like the Tom Watson. Melons will 

 average about 20 inches in length and about 12 

 inches in diameter. The rind is a deep dark green 

 and the flesh a bright scarlet. Price, large pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., y4lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. 

 $4.50, delivered.

 t%.OlD ^em. j^^^gj ^j^g go's by R. F. 



Kolb, an Alabama Watermelon grower. It is a 

 hybrid from Scaly Bark and Rattlesnake. A 

 large, oval melon, slightly flattened on the ends, 

 mottled with irregular stripes of light and dark 

 green. The rind, although comparatively thin, 

 is hard and firm, and has good shipping qualities. 

 The flavor is excellent. Seed black. Price, large

Tnm Wp9f-«n.ri ^^^^ maturity, 130. This 



lom Watson. ^^^^^^ ^^^^^ j^^^ 



Senator Watson, has been on the market about 

 ten years and has firmly established itself as the 

 leading shipping melon of the United States, the 

 annual crop of Watson running into thousands of 

 carloads. The rind, being hard and firm, over- 

 comes the difficulties of long shipment. The 

 fruit will average about 20 inches in length with 

 diameter about 12 inches. The flavor of the 

 melon is good, but not equal to Kleckley. Price, 

 large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 14lb. 30 cts., lb. 

 $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.50, delivered. 



r^itron ^^ys maturity, 100. The fruits are 

 ^ nearly globular in shape, and striped 



somewhat like Gypsy. The flesh is white in 

 color and not edible when raw. Citron is used 

 for preserving purposes. It makes a deservedly 

 popular conserve usually familiar to every house- 

 wife. Price, large pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 30 cts., lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.50, delivered.
