McIVEB'S SUGAB WATERMELON. 



In outward appearance it somewhat 

 resembles the old Rattlesnake. The 

 quality, however, is so much superior 

 that it is an injustice to mention the 

 Rattlesnake on the same page with it, 

 as it even surpasses such excellent va- 

 rieties as Florida Favorite and Icing. 

 It is also an extremely productive and 

 1-ardy variety.

Duke Jones 

 Watermelon 



In shape the BUKE JONES 



resembles very closel> tlie 

 Kolb Gem. The rind is darker 

 green in color, with indistinct, 

 irregular stripes of dark and 

 light green alternating; in 

 general appearance it is a dark 

 green melon. It averages very 

 large in size, comparatively no 

 small melons: is very pro- 

 ductive: it is also very earlv in 

 maturing, ripe melons being 

 plucked from the vine itist fi7 

 days from the date of planting. 

 Its chief claim for popularity 

 is its delicious flavor. The 

 flesh is crisp and very sweet, 

 firm, but not too toug'i : no 

 hard middles, but ripens evenly 

 throughout: flesh deep crimson 

 in color. The Duke Jones is 

 the largest of melons, but has 

 no superior in Its delicious 

 flavor.
