COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL 



Halbert Honey Watermelon 



This fine new variety originated with Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who grows 30 acres every year 

 for his home trade and he challenges the world to produce its equal in beautj% quality, productiveness, 

 and market demand on the part of lovers of melons. It fully equals the Kleckley in sweet flavor and has 

 fruits more even and regular in outline, with a darker richer colored skin, making it more attractive in 

 appearance. The vine is a strong vigorous grower and sets fruits very freely. The flesh is a beauti'ful 

 crimson, the seed is white and comparatively small. It is essentially a home melon for the nearby mar- 

 ket, as the skin is too brittle to ship long distances. 



In quality it is simply delicious, sugary, and of a rich fruity flavor peculiar to itself, devoid of all 

 stringiness, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like honey. We invite everyone to give it a trial. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % lb. 30 cts., 1 lb. 75 cts.

New White Icicle 

 v/ Radish 



An entirely distinct variety from Germany, and 

 derives its name from the almost transparent white- 

 ness of the roots. It produces long, slender, pure 

 white radishes very early in the season much earlier 

 and finer in quality than any other long white varie- 

 ty. The shape is well shown in our illustration. The 

 leaves are short and few, also making it an excellent 

 variety for forcing. It is of the best flavor, very 

 brittle and crisp. The roots grow about 4 inches 

 long and are ready for use in about three weeks 

 from the time of sowing. It is a desirable variety 

 for the home garden and market gardeners will find 

 it a money maker. It is destined to become very 

 popular with growers. Price per pkt. 6 cts., oz. 

 15 cts., 1^ lb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.
