WATERMELONS 



(Herman — 



LORD BALTIMORE, 



TOM WATSON. 



PLOSIDA FAVORITE. 



DUKE JONES. 



CULTURE. — One ounce of seed to thirty 

 hills. Watermelons require a rich, sandy soil 

 for best development. Cultivate the same as 

 for cantaloupes, except that the hills should 

 be eight or ten feet apart. 



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, beau- 

 tifully 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.

TOM WATSON (New). 



A recent introduction. A large oblong 

 melon, dark green skin, with thin, tough 

 rind, which gives it excellent shipping 

 qualities. Melons are produced from IS 

 to 24 inches long and from S to 12 inches 

 in diameter. Flesh, deep red, crisp, 

 melting and of the finest flavor. Heart 

 large, with little or no core. One of the 

 best eating melons known, 

 Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. Yi lb., 25c. Lb., 75c. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE 



This we consider one of the richest and sweetest flav- 

 ored melons grown, of medium size and prolific. 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.

DUKE JONES WATERMELON 



In shape the DUKE JONES resembles very closely the 

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

 distinct irregular stripes of dark and light green alter- 

 nating; in general appearance 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.

McIVER'S SUGAR WATERMELON. 



In outward appearance it somewhat resembles the old Rattlesnake. The quality 

 is much superior. It is an extremely productive and hardy variety.

 FORDHOOE EARLY. 

 This is a very early variety, growing to a good size; color, medium green; form, 

 nearly round; seeds, white; fiesh, bright red and very sweet. 



Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. Yi !*>-. 20c. Lb., 60c. 

 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. 



Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. Yi lb., 20c. Lb., 50c. 

 KLECKLEY'S SWEETS. 

 Skin dark green, thin rind, flesh scarlet, very solid, firm and most luscious quality. 

 For the home market or farnilv garden it is decidedly one of the best.

TRIUMPH WATERMELON 



Is very prolific, very early and of uniformly large size. 

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

 is exactly the same color as that of Kolb Gem.

GRAY MONARCH, OR LONG WHITE ICING. 



This 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, shape long, flesh bright 

 crimson and of sweet, delicious flavor. It is also a fine 

 shipper, carrying well long distances and bringing very high 

 prices.

The size of this fruit is uniformly large; shape, oval; 

 color, a rich dark green, with fine stripes of lighter shade; 

 much darker and richer than the old well-known Kolb Gem.
