 KLECKLEY'S SWEETS WATER- 

 MELON — The finest melon yet in- 

 troduced for home growing and table 

 '.ise. Vines are strong, vigorous, and 

 the fruits grow to large size, 18 to 20 

 inches long and 12 inches in diame- 

 ter. Skin is a rich, dark green; flesh 

 bright scarlet, ripening close to the 

 rind, which is but half an inch thick, 

 so that shipping it long distances is 

 not practicable. Crisp, sugary, melt- 

 ing and entirely free from stringiness. 

 Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; y A lb., 20c; lb., 50c. 



NEW EDEN WATERMELON.— 

 This melon originated in South Caro- 

 lina, and is a cross between the Rat- 

 tlesnake and Kolb's Gem, combining 

 the good shipping qualities of the Kolb's Gem, with the splendid table quality of the Rattlesnake. It is similar in 

 shape and appearance to the Kolb's Gem, except it is of bright 'stripes and more attractive in appearance. The seeds 

 are white and set in small cavities. The flesh is very firm yet tender and delicious in flavor and bright red. The 

 nnd is very tough, making it the best for shipping. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; l / A lb., 20c; lb., 50c. 



TRIUMPH WATERMELON.— It is a cross between Duke Jones and Kolb's Gem. It has the handsome appear- 

 ance and dark green color of the former and the shipping qualities of the Gem; medium season, very prolific, deli- 

 ciously sweet and of enormous size. It possesses all the qualities that go to make up a desirable melon. Packet, 5c; 

 oz., 10c; Y A lb., 15c; lb., 40. 



BLUE GEM WATERMELON (Iceberg)— One of the most 

 popular market and shipping varieties. Grown very extensively 

 in the South for Northern markets, and is today the favorite va- 

 riety with the watermelon-growers of New Jersey, who supply 

 the Philadelphia and New York markets; it keeps well and sel- 

 dom cracks or splits in transit. Its flesh is a beautiful shade of 

 dark red. Melons very uniform in size and shape. Packet, 5c; 

 oz., 10c; Y A lb., 15c; lb., 50c. 



IMPROVED FLORIDA FAVORITE.— It is two weeks earlier 

 than Kolb's Gem or Gypsy; of medium size, covered with light 

 and dark green stripes, alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, 

 sweet, very firm and crisp. Its earliness and excellent quality 

 are bound to make it popular with those who plant for their own 

 use and prefer quality to enormous size. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c;

GREEN OKRA 



Okra or Gumbo. Ten Pounds to the Acre. 



Culture — This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used 

 stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow the seed 

 thickly in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become warm, in 

 drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch deep; thin to 10 inches apart in drills. 



DWARF GREEN PROLIFIC OKRA, or GUMBO.— This vegetable is too little grown, 

 as its pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and stews, besides being very 

 palatable when stewed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily dried 

 for winter. It is universally used through the South and is as easily raised as a weed in 

 the North. So delicious is the flavor that when once used it will be grown every year in 

 Northern as in Southern gardens. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; y A lb., 15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c. 



IMPROVED LONG GREEN.— A very desirable sort for market gardeners; of medium 

 height; very productive, bears long pods, which remain tender a long time and are free 

 from hard ridges. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; y A lb., 15c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c.
