Cole's Early. A splendid extra early variety, suitable for 

 home market, but on account of its thin rind is not a good 

 shipping melon. They grow to medium size, skin is green

"Wonderful, or Mclver Sugar. In our trials of water- 

 melons the ' ■ Wonderful ' ' proved to be one of the sweetest of 

 all. It not only grew to large size, but ripened up uniformly 

 and made fine, solid melons. It is a very sweet, solid fleshed 

 sort, often grows to the length of 2 feet, and from 12 to 16 

 inches in diameter. The rind is marked with broad bands of 

 yellowish green, shading to deep green ; shaped oblong ; is 

 entirely stringless, and free from hard core. We consider it 

 an acquisition. Oz., 10 cts.; j^^ lb , 20 cts.; lb., 60 cts.

Monte Cristo, or Kleckley Sweets. Where sweet- 

 ness combined with large size is desired this variety will surely 

 please, as it not only produces melons above the medium size,

 melon. The vines are of vigorous growth and produce a large 

 crop of melons. , which are of good size, oval shape, skin dark 

 careen and somewhat mottled. The rind is thin, thus making 

 it undesirable as a variety to ship long distances, but sufficiently 

 tough to stand carrying to nearby markets. The heart is large
