Culture. — Watermelons demand rich, though sandy soil for perfect development, and thrive best in the Southern or South- 

 western States, although in a warm, sandy soil in a more northern latitude fine crops are often obtained. Cultivate and treat exactly 

 as muskmelons, except that the hills should be 8 to 10 feet apart. 



ALABAMA SWEET. A good-sized, very uniform, long, dark 

 green melon with red flesh. 



Bolgiano's Indian Chief. M^ge, oblong; thin, dark green 



rind but very tough, with thick 



netting; flesh is a bright attractive red, and has a crisp deli- 

 cious flavor. Very productive, and an exceflent shipper. 

 COLES EARLY. Strictly a home-market melon. Almost 

 round; rind light green, striped with broad bands of dark 

 green; flesh bright red, crisp, and of delicate texture. Ripens 

 in 80 days.

 22 inches long. Used mostly in the home garden because 

 of its tenderness.

 home-garden or local market sort 

 of distinct appearance and delicious

solid, bright red, no white 



spots or stringiness. 



Average weight about 45 



pounds.
