GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 



08 



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 orig- 

 nated 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 me- 

 dium size, colored with light and dark green 

 stripes alternately, flesh deep red, delicious- 

 ly sweet, firm and crisp. One of the best 

 Melons. 



Florida's Favorite. 



Seminole. A novelty of recent intro- 

 duction. A very early melon, oblong 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 Sonthern 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 offer has 

 been grown from headquarters by a careful 

 grower of Georgia. It is a good shipper. 

 We recommend it highly.
