best melons that 



Florida Favorite 



This we consider the richest and 

 sweetest flavored melon grown, of 

 medium size and prolific. The best of 

 all for family garden. It is now very 

 popular with the truckers and melon- 

 growers of Maryland and Virginia, and 

 sells readily in the Baltimore markets.

UcIVER'S SUGAB WATES]VIZ:X.OIT. 



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 

 hardy variety.

Duke Jones 

 Watermelon 



In shape the DTTKE JOITES 



resembles very closely the 

 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 early in 

 maturing, ripe melons being 

 plucked from the vine just 67 

 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 tough; 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.

Triumph 

 Watermelon 



This new melon as a mar- 

 ket sort and for shipment is 

 the very best we have ever 

 introduced. It is very prolific, very early, and of uniformly 

 large size. It is a cross between the Duke Jones and the 

 Kolb Gem; has the handsome appearance of the former and 

 the fine shipping qualities of the latter. The rind, like Duke 

 Jones, is of dark green color; the seed is exactly the same 

 color as that of Kolb Gem. Tlie average size of the melon is 

 very large. Pkt., Sc. Oz., 10c. '4 lb., 20c. Lb., SOc.
