WATERMELONS 



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 early, very large, 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 the richest and sweet- 

 est flavored Melon 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 Mary- 

 land and Virginia, and sells readily in the 

 Baltimore markets.

McIVER'S SUGAR WATERMELON. 



In outward appearance it somewhat resem- 

 bles the old Rattlesnake. The quality, how- 

 ever, is so much superior that it is an injus- 

 tice to mention the Rattlesnake on the same 

 page with it, as it even surpasses such excel- 

 lent varieties as Florida Favorite and Icing. 

 It is also an extremely productive and hardy 

 variety.

Duke Jones 

 Watermelon 



| N 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 alternat- 

 ing; in general appearance it 

 is a dark green Melon. It av- 

 erages very large in size, com- 

 paratively no small Melons; is 

 very productive; it is also very 

 early in maturing, ripe Melons 

 being plucked from the vine 

 just 67 days from the date of 

 planting. Its chief claim for 

 popularity is its delicious fla- 

 vor. The flesh is crisp and 

 very sweet, firm, but not too 

 tough; no hard middles, but 

 ripens evenly throughout; flesh 

 deep crimson in color. Thi 

 Duke Jones is the largest o 

 Melons, but has no superior in 

 its delicious flavor.

DUKE JONES. 



BLACK BOULDER. 



It is enormously produc- 

 tive, 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 su- 

 perior to Kolb Gem.

KLECKLEY'S SWEETS. 



..Skin dark green, thin rind, 

 flesh scarlet, very solid, firm 

 and most luscious quality. 

 For the home market or fam- 

 ily garden it is decidedly one 

 of the best.

TRIUMPH 

 WATERMELON 



GRAY MONARCH, OR LONG WHITE ICING. 



This distinct Melon is without 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, carry- 

 ing well long distances, and bringing very high prices.

THIS new Melon, as a market sort and 

 for shipment, is the very best we have 

 ever introduced. It is very prolific, 

 very early, and of uniformly large size. 

 It is a cross between the Duke Jones and 

 the Kolb Gem; has the handsome appear- 

 ance of the former and the line shipping 

 qualities of the 

 latter. 



The rind, like 

 Duke Jones, Is of 

 dark green color; 

 the seed is exactly 

 the same color as 

 that ot Kolb Gem. 

 The average size 

 of the Melon is 

 very large.
