fiider it worthy of being classed as one of our

bands of white, shading into narrower bands 

 of dark green. The quality is very superior, 

 flesh of a soft, pale pink, crisp and free froni 

 any stringiness and very juicy. These 

 Melons have a solid heart free from cracks, 

 while the seed rows are close to the rind. 



Bradford. This melon is long in shape 

 and color dark green with dark'er wavy- 

 bands, flesh melting and of excellent flavor. 

 Seed white, an excellent variety. 



Early Dark Icing. This is an early 

 variety, round, with thin, dark skin, 

 yet very solid and of superior quality. 

 Not well adapted for shipping pur- 

 poses. 



Alabama Sweet. The best Melon 

 grown for shipping. Oblong, very large, 

 dark green, feintly striped, very sweet, 

 entirely stringless ; very prolific; we can- 

 not recommend this JMelon too highl^'^. 

 Fancy selected Southern grown seed. 



Black Diamond. We have tried 

 very hard the past season to popularize 

 this fine large Melon, but our customers? 

 do not "take toit" as they should. D» 

 not be partial and cling too long to ol<J 

 favorites. We admit that but half the 

 so-called "novelties" are really novel 

 or an improvement on others, but when 

 we know that we have an improved 

 variety, we do not hesitate to recom- 

 mend it. Put at least a portion of 

 your JNIelon patch in Black Diamond 

 and you will plant more of it the next 

 season. It is nearly round, solid, rind. 



Why not raise your own Wlushrooms, easily grown, cost of spawn 60c. per lb.
