Florida's Favorite. 



STECELEB'S ANGEL KISS.— Its popu- 

 larity is now extended throughout the entire 

 country. It grows medium to very large 

 in size, often weighing forty to Sixty 

 pounds, and twenty-five to thirty inches in 

 length. The color is a silver-gray, hand- 

 some and attractive. It is a very strong and 

 vigorous grower. One distinct feature of 

 this melon is that the flesh is a good deep 

 red by the time the seeds are formed in it 

 often before the melon is really grown. It 

 has few seeds, possibly less than any other 

 watermelon. A splendid sort for home use. 

 Packet, 5c. and 10c.; oz., 20c; \\ lb., 50c; 

 lb., SI. 50. postpaid. 



EZCELL WATERMELON. — This is the 

 shippers' melon. It is well adapted to 

 Southern conditions and for a shipping 

 melon it can't be beat. The rind is tough 

 and will withstand the roughest use in 

 transit, besides being a heavy cropper. 

 It is a large, long, dark green melon with 

 faint stripes making a quick seller on the 

 market. Flesh red very crisp, solid, and a 

 wonderful early medium shipper. Packet. 

 5c and 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c; lb., 

 SI. 25, postpaid. 



HALBSET HONEY.— Succeeds well and 

 ripens early in all melon growing sections, 

 and has only the single drawback of a thin, 

 brittle rind which will not withstand ship- 

 ment on the cars. The vines are strong, 

 healthy growth and sets fruit freely. The 

 melons are of cylindrical oblong form with 

 smoothly rounded ends and free from any 

 tendency to neck at the stem end. The 

 first melons ripen early and the vines con 



tinue to develop fine fruit throughout the 

 season, even the late fruits are of the 

 same large size and regular form The 

 melons are from 18 to 20 inches in length 

 with smooth dark green skin. The beauti- 

 ful crimson flesh is of such sugary melting 

 consistency that it can be only fully ap- 

 preciated bv actual trial. Packet, 5c and 

 10c; oz., 15c; U lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, post- 

 paid.
