MARI£ LOUISE.— 



This is one of the fin- 

 est varieties intro- 

 duced. It is a cross 

 between the Lone 

 Star and Florida's 

 Favorite shape siml 

 lar to the. latter 

 but larger, just a> 

 early, are far superio 

 than either. Darl- 

 striped, thin rind, am- 

 flesh red and ver^ 

 succulent, ripening a) 

 most to the rind. Th- 

 seed resembles that 

 of the Lone Star, 

 but is darker i» color. 

 We had some of the 

 melons weighing from 

 20 to 25 pounds. Re- 

 commend them high- 

 ly. Packet, 5c. and 

 10c; oz., 20c; l A lb., 

 50c; lb., $1.50 post- 

 paid. 



SWEET HEART.— 

 A shipping Melon of 

 large size and fine 

 quality. The vines 

 are very vigorous and 

 productive, bearing 

 the fruit early. Mel- 

 ons uniform in size, 

 oval shaped and very 

 heavy. The rind is 

 light green, thin, but 

 firm; flesh bright 

 crimson, sweet and 

 tender. This Melon is 

 particularly fine for 

 distance shipping, be- 

 ing of such fine ap- 

 pearance that they 

 sell readily and they 

 remain in fit condi- 

 tion to use longer 

 than any other sort. 

 Packet, 5c and 10c; 

 oz., 15c; M lb., 30c; 

 lb., $1.00, postpaid. 



STE CKLSR'S 

 CREAM PLESH.- 



Fruit large, heavy, 

 oblong sh,.'pe with 

 several different 

 shades of light and 

 dark green lines, fre- 

 quently a light and 



dark striped melon on the same vine. On 

 opening these melons you will find about 

 60 per cent, of them have a pretty, rich 

 cream-colored flesh of a peculiar delicious 

 flavor, others will have a brilliant pink 

 flesh of fine flavor, and as the outside color 

 of the rind does not indicate the color of 

 the flesh every one you cut is a surprise. 

 Seeds are white with black and brown rims

or spots. This melon is also wonderfully 

 hardy and prolific; the strong vines stand 

 scalding sun and wet weather and continue 

 to produce large melons when other varie- 

 ties are failing. The rind is rather heavy 

 and strong and will not rot in the field and 

 is tough enough to ship if desired for this 

 purpose. Packet, 5c and 10c; oz., 20c; V4 

 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, postpaid.
