ARDEN MANUAL TOR THE SOUTHERN STATES 



Florida's Favorite. 



kind. Flesh crimson, very thin but tough 

 rind; fine flavor and full of flesh; no hollow 

 in the middle. It is the heaviest Melon for 

 its size. What we offer are Southern grown 

 seeds. 



Florida's Favorite. This Melon originated 

 in Florida. It is an excellent variety ; prolific, 

 earlier than the Kolb Gem, Rattle Snake or 

 Pride of Georgia, and very fine for the table. 

 It is not as good for shipping as the Kolb 

 Gem or Rattle Snake, of medium size, colored 

 with light and dark green stripes alterna- 

 tely, flesh deep red, deliciously sweet, 

 firm and crisp. One of the best Melons. 



Seminois. A very early Melon, oblong 



Kolb Gem. 



in shape, of two colors, some very grey and 

 others light green, resembling the Ice Cream, 

 but larger in size. It is fine flavored and 

 productive. 



Duke Jones. A Southern Melon of great 

 merit. It is of the same shape as the Kolb 

 Gem, but of much finer flavor and of large 

 size. Rind dark green, red flesh, large and 

 early. The seed we ofl"er has been grown 

 from headquarters by a careful grower of 

 Georgia. It is a good shipper. We recom- 

 mend it highly. 



Lone Star. This Melon was brought here 

 from Texas by Mr. Nat. Henderson, of Iberia 

 Parish, La. It has proven to be the best 

 Melon for this section, 

 either for market or 

 family use. This Melon 

 is above medium and 

 veiy uniform in size; a 

 prolific bearer, oblong 

 in shape; the rind is 

 of mottled green and 

 black color, somewhat 

 like the Rattle Snake, 

 but of a darker green. 

 The flesh is of a deep 

 red color, solid, crisp 

 and very sweet in flavor 

 it cannot be excelled 

 by any variety. It is 

 excellent for market as 

 well as for family use. 

 It is one of the leading 

 varieties for the South. 

 Recommend same very 

 highly. 



Early Triumph True 

 Strain. This new Me- 

 lon has been largely 

 planted in the past, 

 and has proven so suc- 

 cessful that we con-
