Florida's Favorite. 



FLORIDA'S FAVORITE.— It is of oblong- 

 shape, and large size; rind dark with light 

 green stripes; flesh light crimson, very 

 crisp and deliciously sweet, seed rather 

 small and of a light creamy-white color. 

 It is earlier than the Kolb Gem or Rattle 

 Snake. 



BLACK DIAMOND.— All that could be 

 said of Kolb's Gem as to good shipping 

 qualities can be truthfully stated in a 

 higrher degree of the Black Diamond. All 



the praise of high quality bestowed ©n the 

 Sweet Heart can be repeated of this Melon, 

 but its prominent point of merit is its ex- 

 treme size — no Melon ever yet produced 

 anything so uniformly large fruit, nor ap- 

 proached it in productiveness. Melons 

 weighing from 75 to 90 pounds are fre- 

 quent. It is the most prolific Water Melon 

 ever planted. Its color 4s a rich, dark 

 green, almost black. Its symmetrical shape, 

 roundish to bluntly oval, is uniform 

 throughout the field. The vine is extremely 

 vigorous. 



SEMINOLE. — A very early Melon, oblong in shape, of two colors, some very grey 

 and others light green, resembling the Ice Cream, but larger in size. It is fine flavored 

 and productive.
