Halbert Honey Water Melon 



This fine new variety originated with Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who grows 30 acres every 

 year for his home trade and he challenges the world to produce its equal in beauty, quality, produc- 

 tiveness, and market demand on the part of lovers of melons. It fully equals the Kleckley in sweet 

 flavor and has fruits more even and regular in outline, with a" darker, richer colored skin, making it 

 more attractive in appearance. The vine is a strong, vigorous grower and sets fruits very freely. 



The flesh is a beautiful crimson, the seed is white and comparatively small. It is essentially a home 

 melon for the nearby market, as the skin is too brittle to ship long distances. 



In quality it is simply delicious, sugary, and of a rich fruity flavor peculiar to itself, devoid of 

 all stringiness, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like honey. We invite everyone to give it 

 a trial. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., ^4 lb. 30 cts., 1 lb. 75 cts. 



I have had good success with your seeds and have planted them for many years. Always of 

 $trong vitality and true to name. — Nelson Hanks, Edgar County, Illinois.
