TRIUMPH WATERMELON. 



This new melon, as a market sort and for shipment, 

 is the best we have ever introduced. It is very pro- 

 lific, very early, and of uniformly large size. It is a 

 cross between the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem ; has the 

 fine, handsome appearance of the former and the fine 

 shipping qualities of the latter. The rind, like the 

 Duke Jones, is of dark green color, the seed exactly 

 the same color as those of the Kolb Gem. The aver- 

 age size of the melon is very large. Our stock of this 

 seed is very limited. Packet, 10 cents; }^ pound, 25 

 cents; pound, 40 cents. 



Improved Georgia Rattlesnake. — The old 

 rattlesnake has always been regarded as a fine melon. 

 Our strain is the result of careful selection by an ex- 

 perienced melon grower through several years of care- 

 ful and watchful work. The rind is thin and tough, 

 the flesh deep scarlet, the flavor unsurpassed by any 

 other sort. We strongly recommend it both for ship- 

 ping and, home use, combining, to an unusual degree, 

 splendid shipping and table qualities. Our improved 

 stock is very much superior to the ordinary Georgia 

 Rattlesnake Watermelon. Packets 5 and 10 cents; }( 

 pound, 15 cents; pound 35 cents. 



Eden.— Originated by one of the largest melon 

 growers in the South. It is a successful cross of the 

 Kolb Gem and Rattle- 

 snake, combining the good 

 shipping qualities of the 

 Kolb Gem with the splen- 

 did table qualities of the 

 Rattlesnake. It is similar 

 in shape and appearanc to 

 the Kolb Gem, excepting 

 that it has a brighter 

 stripe, and is a little more 

 attractive in appearance. 

 Is becoming popular wher- 

 ever grown. Packet, 5 

 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % 

 pound, 20 cents; pound, 

 50 cents.
