Halbert Honey Water Melon 



Tli is fine new variety originated with Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who grows 30 acres every 

 year for his home trade and lie challenges the world to produce its equal in beauty, quality, produc- 

 tiveness, and market demand on the part of lovers of melons. It fully equals the Kleckley in sweet 

 flavor and has fruits more even and regular in outline, with a darker, richer colored skin, making it 

 more attractive in appearance. The vine is a strong, vigorous grower and sets fruits very freely. 



The flesh is a beautiful crimson, the seed is white and comparatively small. It is essentially a home 

 melon for the nearby market, as the skin is too brittle to ship long distances. 



In quality it is simply delicious, sugary, and of a rich fruity flavor peculiar to itself, devoid of 

 all stringiness, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like honey. We invite everyone to give it 

 a trial. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Vi lb. 30 cts., 1 lb. 75 cts.

New White Icicle Radish 



An entirely distinct variety from Germany, and 

 derives its name from the almost transparent 

 whiteness of the roots. It produces long, slender, 

 pure white radishes very early in the season, 

 much earlier and finer in quality than any other 

 long white variety. The shape is well shown in 

 our illustration. The leives are short and few, 

 also making it an excellent variety for forcing. 

 It is of the best flavor, very brittle and crisp. 

 The roots grow about four inches long and are 

 read-"- for use in about three weeks from the time 

 of sowing. It is a desirable variety for the home 

 garden and market gardeners will find it a money 

 maker. It is destined to become very popular 

 with growers. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts. ; .

 the market. It is handsime in form an 1 color,
