 is the best we have ever introduced. It is very prolific, 

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

 handsome appearance of the former and the fine ship- 

 ping 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 average size of 

 the melon is very large. Our stock of this seed is very

IMPROVED FLORIDA FAVORITE,

 light and dark green 

 stripes, alternately ; flesh
