DUKE JOMES WAlTERflELON - 



In shape the "Duke Jones" resembles very closely the Kolb 

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

 lar stripes of dark and light green alternating ; in general ap- 

 pearance it is a dark green melon.. It averages very large 

 in size, comparatively no small melons, is very productive ; it is 

 also verj' early in maturing, ripe melons being plucked from the 

 vine just 67 daj's from the date of planting. Its chief claim for 

 popularity is its delicious flavor. The flesh is crisp and very 

 sweet, firm, but not tough, no hard middles, but ripens evenlj- 

 throughout ; flesh deep crimson In color. The " Duke Jones " is 

 the largest of melons, but has no superior in its delicious flavor.

 melon is without doubt one of the largest of all, frequently at- 

 taining a weight of seventy pounds and over. The skin is a mot- 

 tled gray color, shape long, flesh bright crimson and of sweet, 

 delicious flavor. It is also a fine shipper, carrying well long dis- 

 tances, and bringing very high prices.

r»I flfS ^p^^ —This splendid melon resembles the Kolb 

 PaaVILi Nll^l l« Gem in shape, and is of a dark bluish 

 — ^— — — — color, with small grayish stripes. It is 

 one of the best shippers, and as a table melon much superior to 

 the Kolb Gem. Very productive and is handsome and showy. A 

 grower in Dixie, Georgia, says: "If you want a shipper that will 

 go around the world, you can safely select the Bi.ce Gem.

McIVER'S SI GAR WATERMELON.— In outward appearance 

 it somewhat resembles the old Rattlesnake. The quality, how- 

 ever, 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 and Icing. It is also an 

 extremely productive and hardy variety

LORD B^LTinORE 

 W^TERHELON. 



We wish to call special attention to this splen- 

 did and delicious melon. 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 shijipcr, and beats all 

 others as a seller.
