WATERMELONS 



German — Haaser Hdime. 



CULTURE. — One ounce of seed to thirty hills. Watermelons require a rich, sandy 

 soil ror 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.

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 



IN shape the DUKE JOIVES 

 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. The 

 Duke Jones is the largest of 

 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.

 all, frequently attaining a weight of 70 pounds and over. The

CITRON 



This new Melon, as a mar- 

 ket sort and for shipment, is 

 the very best we have ever in- 

 troduced. 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 appearance of the former and 

 the fine shipping qualities of the latter. The rind, like Duke 

 Jones, is of dark green color; the seed is exactly the same 

 color as that of Kolb Gem. The average size of the Melon is 

 very large. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. % lb., 15c. Lb., 40c. 



BLACK STRIPED KOLB 

 GEM WATERMELON. 



The size of this fruit is uniformly large; stape oval; color 

 a rich dark green with fine stripes of lighter shade. Much 

 darker and richer than the old well-known Kolb Gem; flesh 

 rich deep pink; crisp and melting; ripens to within half inch 

 of the rind. The exceptionally strong rind makes it an ex- 

 cellent shipper; flavor remarkably sweet and sugary.
