k'Xone Star. This Melon was brought 

 ht-re from Texas by Mr. Nat. Henderson, of 

 Iberii Parish. La. It has proven to be the 

 best Melon for this section, either for mar- 

 ket or f imily use. This Melon is above 

 medium and very uniform in size; a prolific 

 be rer, oblong in shape; the rind is of mot- 

 lied 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 ex- 

 celled by any variety. It is excelent for 

 market as well as for family use. When 

 better known it will become one of the lead- 

 ing varieties for the South. Recommend 

 same very highly.
