KOLB'S GEM — 

 This new Southern 

 Melon comes to me 

 most highly recom- 

 mended, and although 

 as yet little known in 

 the North, bids fair to 

 soon have a national 

 reputation, both on ac- 

 count of its most ex- 

 cellent shipping qual- 

 ities and delicious fla- 

 vor. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 

 lOcts.; V lb., 30 cts.; lb., 

 81.00. 



TRUE DARK 



ICTNG.-Taking every- 

 thing into considera- 

 tion, I think that there 

 is no better melon 

 than the True Dark 

 Icing, except Iron- 

 Clad. In flavor it is 

 simply delicious, and 

 cannot be excelled, 

 in my opinion. It is 

 very solid, rind very 

 thin, and an excellent 



SCALY BARK WATERMELON. Shipper. It iS round 



in form, and white 

 seeded. Having sold it by the hundreds of pounds for years, 

 I have yet to hear from a customer who does not praise it. 

 By purchasing the True Dark Icing from me, you will dis- 

 cover you have secured a melon very hard to beat in all the 

 points that go to make a perfect melon. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 

 cts.; % lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



SCALY BARK 



This melon was first 

 brought prominently 

 before the public at 

 the Atlanta Exhib- 

 ition in 1881. One 

 peculiarity it has 

 especially, and it is a 

 very important one, 

 namely ; It remains 

 in good eating con- 

 dition from 10 to 15 

 days after being 

 pulled. This makes 

 it most valuable to 

 shippers, as in addi- 

 tion it has a very 

 tough, though thin 

 rind. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 

 10 cts.; V. lb., 3-5 cts.; 

 lb., 81.15. 



COLORADO PRE- 

 SERVING MELON. 

 — Quite distinct from 

 the ordinary preserv- 

 citron. It is im- 



COLORADO PRESERVING MELON. 



mensely productive, one vine produced twenty-live mel- 

 ons, weighing from fifteen to forty pounds each, and even 

 in the dry season of 1881, it made a growth fully ten times as 

 large as the ordinary citron. Flesh is very firm and solid. 

 Preserving qualities are the very finest. It makes beauti- 

 ful, clear, nearly transparent preserves of surpassing fla- 

 vor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; y± lb., 50 cts.; lb., 81.75. 



Henry Earheart. Conner, Ind.: "From seed purchased of you I 

 raised a Scaly Bark Melon which weighed from 40 to 4o pounds.being 

 the largest melon I ever had." 



J. \V. Montgomery, Holly Grove. Ark.: " I have concluded to use 

 no other seed but yours. I raised an Iron Clad Watermelon which 

 weighed lOT'i pounds. Never was hetter pleased in my life." 



Wm. O. Swanson. Red Wing. Minn.: "The Mammoth Iron Clad 

 Watermelon are the best, both for flavor and size. The Colorado 

 Preserving Melons are the largest hearers I ever saw."
