kind. Flesh crimson, very thin but tough 

 rind; fine flavor and full of flesh; no hollo-w- 

 in the middle. It is the heaviest Melon for 

 its size. What -we offer are Southern grown 

 seeds. 



Florida's Favorite. This Melon orig- 

 nated in Florida. It is an excellent variety; 



prolific, earlier than the Kolb Gem, Rattle 

 Snake or Pride of Georgia, and verv fine 

 for the table. It is not as good for snipping 

 as the Kolb Gem or Rattle Snake, of me- 

 dium size, colored -with light and dark green 

 stripes alternately, flesh deep red, delicicus- 

 ly sweet, firm and crisp. One of the best 

 Melons.
