CTJIiTURE. — One ounce of seed to 30 

 hills. Watermelons require a rich, 

 sandy soil for best development. Culti-

LORD BALTIMORE 



It is very early, of oblong shape, and 

 the flesh is of handsome crimson color, 

 deliciously sweet and extending close up 

 to the rind. It has a thin, hard rind, 

 beautifully mottled light and dark green. 

 Its perfect shape, faultless color, fine 

 texture and excellent flavor combine to 

 make it one of the very best melons that 

 grows. It is a good shipper, and beats 

 all others as a seller.

FLORIDA FAVORITE 



This we consider one of the richest and sweetest flavored 

 melons grown, of medium size and proliflc. 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.

 ductive and hardv variety.

BLACK BOULDER. 



It is enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size, with 

 rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any melon we have 

 ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are phenomenal, no 

 other melon equaling it in tough skin and rind; in this respect 

 even superior to the Kolb Gem.

 nearby market. One of the most delicious of melons; rich red 

 and surgary to the very thin rind.

 rind, like Duke Jones, is of dark green color; the seed is ex- 

 actly the same color as that of Kolb Gem.

GRAY MONARCH, OR LONG WHITE ICING. 



Thi.<3 distinct melon is without a doubt one of the largest of 

 all, frequently attaining a weight of 70 pounds and over. The 

 skin is a mottled gray color, sh^rie lonsr, flesh brieht crimson, 

 and of sweet, delicious flavor. It is also a fine shipper, carry-

DUKE JONES WATERMELON 



In shape the DTJICE JONES resembles very closely the Kolb 

 Gem. The rind is darker green in color, with indistinct irregu- 

 lar stripes of dark and light green alternating; in general ap- 

 pearance it is a dark green melon. It averages very large in 

 size, comparatively no small melons; is very productive; it is 

 also very early in maturing.
