 red ; yery tender and sweet. It grows to a good size for so 

 early a melon. Or., lo cts.; % lb., 35 cts.; lb., §1.15. 



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 

 with light stripes ; flesh rich dark red, luscious and sweet.

Florida Favorite. Of medium size, striped alternately

 ^ lb., 30 cts.; lb.. Si. 00.

 the very centre. Heavy cropper, skin striped dark and light 

 green; flesh bright red, tender and melting; crisp, and very 

 sugary. Oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 30 cts.; lb., |l.oo. 



Blue Gem, or Iceberg. [See cut.) An excellent 

 variety, which is similar in shape to the well-known Kolb's 

 Gem, but has darker skin. The melons grow to a large size.

 good flavor. Oz. , 10 cts.; ]^ lb., 30 cts.; lb., ^I.oo. 



Monte Cristo, or Kleckley Sweets. Where sweet- 

 ness combined with large size is desired this varietj' will 

 surely please, as it has that crisp, sugary flavor so much de- 

 sired. It grows to a large size and is oval-shape, with dark 

 green skin, which is somewhat mottled, and the flesh is 

 bright red. Oz., 10 cts.; 3^ lb., 35 cts.; lb., S1.15. 



Tom Watson. [See cut.) A large oblong variety which has- 

 met with favor wherever grown. It originated in Georgia, a 

 State noted for producing fine melons, and this new variety is 

 a good example of what a first-class watermelon should be. 

 The rind is thin, but tough, and the flesh a bright, attractive 

 red color, very solid and of a delicious, sweet and satisfying, 

 flavor. The size and shape of this melon strongly recom- 

 mend it for shipping. Oz., locts.; ^ lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.1^. 



Alabama Sweet. A large and attractive melon, oblong in 

 shape, early in maturing and continues to ripen during a long 

 season. Color dark green, flesh bright red, remarkably firm, 

 and of luscious flavor. We recommend it to those who grow 

 for market, as it is well adapted for that purpose. Oz., 10 

 cts.; ^ lb., 30 cts.; lb., gl.oo. 



Yellow Ice Cream. Flesh is a rich golden-yellow, but, 

 unlike other varieties of this character, it is entirely free from 

 coarseness, and is sweet, luscious and melting. Oblong shape, 

 with dark green rind, and can be kept in a cool, dry place- 

 for a long time. The vines are inclined to overbear, but even 

 the undeveloped specimens are of good quality. Oz. , 20 cts.; 

 % lb., 60 cts.; lb., ^2.00.

 preserves. Oz. , 10 cts.; % lb., 35 cts.; lb., $1.15.
