CULTURE. — One ounce of seed to 30 

 hills. Watermelons require a rich, sandy 

 soil for best development. Cultivate the 

 same as for cantaloupes, except that the 

 hills should be eight or ten feet apart. 



Lord Baltimore 



It is very early, of oblong shape, and the 

 flesh is of handsome crimson color, delicious- 

 ly 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 grow. It is a good shipper 

 and beats all others as a seller. 



Florida Favorite 



This we consider one of the richest and sweetest flavored 

 melons grown, of medium size and prolific. The best of 

 all for family gardens. It is now very popular with the 

 truckers and melon-growers of Maryland and Virginia, and 

 sells readily in the Baltimore markets. 



MclVER'S SUGAR WATERMELON 



In outward appearance it somewhat resembles the old 

 Rattle-snake. The quality is much superior. It is an ex- 

 tremely productive and hardy variety. 



Indian Chief Watermelon 



A large oblong dark green melon, with thick netting, the 

 rind is thin but very tough. The flesti is a bright attractive 

 red, and has a crisp delicious flavor. It is vtry productive, 

 and is an excellent sjhipper. 



Dark Icing 



An extra early and extra good melon for home use and nearby 

 market. One of the most delicious of melons ; rich red and sugary 

 to the very thin rind. 



GRAY MONARCH OR LONG WHITE ICING 



This distinct melon is without a doubt one of the largest of all, 

 frequently attaining a weight of 70 pounds and over. The skin is 

 a motled gray color, shape long, flesh bright crimson, and of 

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

 distances and bringing very high prices. 



Duke Jones Watermelon 



In shape the DUKE JONES resembles very closely the Kolb 

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

 stripes of light and dark green alternating ; in general appearance 

 it is a dark green melon. It averages very large in size, compara- 

 tively no small melons ; is very productive ; it is also very early in 

 maturing.
