J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



Frotscher's Lone Star. 



Mciver's Wonderful. An oblong shaped 

 Melon of uniformly large size, and hand- 

 some in appearance. The skin shows 

 broad bands of white, shading into nar- 

 Tower bands of dark green. The quality 

 is very superior, flesh of a soft, pale pink, 

 crisp and free from any stringiness and 

 very juicy. These Melons have a solid 

 heart free from cracks, while the seed 

 rows are close to the rind. 



Duke Jones. A Southern Melon of 

 great merit. It is of the same shape as 

 the Kolb Gem, but cf much finer flavor 

 and of large size. Rind dark green, red 

 flesh, large and early. 



Early Triumph. A favorite mar- 

 ket and shipping melon. It is 

 early, prolific, and averages very 

 large. Its fine appearance makes 

 it a ready seller in any market. 

 The rind, like that of the Duke 

 Jones, is of a dark-green color, 

 with indistinct stripe flesh, solid 

 and sweet. 



Frotscher's Lone Star. This 

 Melon was brought here from Texas 

 by Mr. N. Henderson, Iberia Parish, 

 La. It has proven to be the best , 



Melon for this section, either for 

 market or family use. This Melon 

 is above medium and very uniform 

 in size; a prolific bearer, oblong 

 in shape; the rind is of mottled 

 green and black color, somewhat 

 like the Rattle Snake, but of a 

 darker green. The flesh is of a 

 deep red color, solid, crisp and 

 very sweet in flavor. It cannot be 

 excelled by any variety. It is one of 

 the leading varieties for the South. 



Eden. A splendid new shipping 

 Watermelon extensively planted in the 

 Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. Fifteen 

 hundred acres of Eden were planted at 

 one point in Florida in one season. In gen- 

 eral appearance it closely resembles 

 Kolb Gem, but it has light colored seed 

 and a sweetness of flesh almost equal to 

 our Georgia Rattlesnake. This combina- 

 tion of excellent eating and shipping 

 qualities makes it a quick seller at high 

 prices on northern marke'ts. If you grow 

 for shipment the Eden should interest 

 you.
