McIVER'S SUGAR WATERMELOS 



In outward appearance it somewhat re 

 sembles the old Rattlesnake. The quality, 

 however, is so much superior that it Is an 

 injustice to mention the Rattlesnake on the 

 same page with it. as it even surpasses such 

 excellent varieties as Florida Favorite an^ 

 Icing. It is also an extremely productlv* 

 and hardy variety.

Duke Jones 

 Wat ermelon 



IN shape the DUKE JONES 

 resembles very closely the 

 Kolb Gem. The rind is dark- 

 er green in color, with indistinct. 

 Irregular stripes of dark and 

 light green alternating ; in gen- 

 eral 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, ripe 

 Melons being plucked from the 

 vine just 67 days from the date 

 ef planting. Its chief claim for 

 popularity is its delicious flavor. 

 The flesh is crisp and very sweet, 

 firm, but not too tough ; no 

 tiard middles ; but ripens evenly 

 throughout ; flesh deep crimson 

 color. . The Duke Jones is ths 

 largest of Melons, but has no su- 

 perior in its delicious flavor.

 reaching a mammoth size, with 

 rich, dark green skin. It cuts 

 equal to any Melon we hav*

 jualities are phenomenal, nc 

 3ther Melon equaling it in tough 

 skin and rind ; in this respect 

 ;ven superior to Kolb Gem.

Triumph Watermelon 



THIS new Melon, as a market sort and 

 for shipment, is the 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 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 av- 

 erage size of 

 the Melon is 

 very large.
