PAN M U R E ALL-HEART WATERMELON. 



387 



Panmure All -Heart Watermelon 



Here we have an entirely distinct variety that is sure to excite the admiration of all lovers of fine watermelons. It is 

 not only of superb flavor, but is all its name implies. Solid as a cannon ball, and while it has a thin rind, the skin is 

 firm, consequently making it a good shipper. Seeds are about the same size as apple seeds ; but, not withstanding this fact, 

 the average weight of the melon is 30 to 40 pounds. The shape, size efc, is well shown in illustration. Not a single 

 one of our customers who grow watermelons should fail to make a trial of Panmure All-Heart this season, as it is sure to 

 please the most exacting. We cannot recommend Panmure All-Heart too highly for home or market use. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50, postpaid. 



Growers using large quantities of melon and 

 other seeds should write for our Market Garden- 

 ers' Special Price List and save money. 



CHILIAN WATERMELON. 



390 



Chilian Watermelon 



SUGAR STICK WATERMELON, 



A favorite in the local markets of California, and is becoming more 

 popular elsewhere when more generally known. The melons are 

 medium in size, nearly round or slightly oblong. The dark green rind 

 is slightly mottled and striped with a lighter green. The bright ver- 

 milliou-red flesh is of a superior quality and is equalled by few and 

 surpassed by none, either for shipping or for the home garden. The 

 Chilian watermelon which we are offering has white seeds, and is pre- 

 ferred on account of its sweetness and large size. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; % pound, 40 cents; ponnd, $1.25. 



APPLE PIE CITRON MELON. 



399 



Sugar Stick Watermelon 



A. long, grayish or light green melon of handsome appearance. The 

 strong vines are of vigorous growth, producing numerous large melons 

 often measuring 2 feet in length and weighing 30 pounds each. This 

 melon has a thin rind which is very tough, making it a good keeper 

 and an excellent shipper. The luscious flesh which is a deep, rich red 

 is very crisp and sugary, and is entirely free from any coarse string- 

 lness. Sugar Stick is a desirable melon both for the home garden 

 or market. The seed we are offering was grown from the introducer's 

 stock. Pkt., 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; % pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.85. 



419 



Apple Pie Citron Melon 



This citron melon has fruit very similar to the watermelon 

 but the flesh is used exclusively for sauces, pies and preserving, 

 etc., having a most delicious flavor, resembling somewhat 

 the flavor of apples. The flesh is white and solid. Each vine 

 produces 5 to 15 melons so filled with fruit that a large sized 

 one will make as many pies as a half bushel of apples. They 

 keep fresh and solid all winter, so can be used when wanted, 

 and owing to their value as stock food, any surplus not used 

 for home cooking can be fed all winter to stock. It will pay 

 to raise them for this purpose alone. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; £ pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.50.
