LORD BALTIMORE. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE. 



DUKE JONES. 



CULTURE. — One ounce of seed to 30 

 hills. Watermelons require a rich, 

 sandy soil for best development. Culti- 

 vate the same as for cantaloupes, except 

 that the hills should be eight or ten feet 

 apart. 



Lord Baltimore 



It is very early, of oblong shape, and 

 the flesh is of handsome crimson color, 

 deliciously sweet and extending close up 

 to the rind. It has a thin, hard rind, 

 beautifully mottled light and dark green. 

 Its perfect shape, faultless color, fine 

 texture and excellent flavor combine to 

 make it one of the very best melons that 

 grows. It is a good shipper, and beats 

 all others as a seller.

FLORIDA FAVORITE 



This we consider one of the richest and sweetest flavored 

 melons grown, of medium size and prolific. The best of all 

 for family garden. It is now very popular with the truckers 

 and melon-growers of Maryland and Virginia, and sells readily 

 in the Baltimore markets.

McIVER'S SUGAR WATERMELON. 



In outward appearance it somewhat resembles the old Rattle- 

 snake. The quality is much superior. It is an extremely pro- 

 ductive and hardy variety.

 medium green; form, nearly round; seeds, white; flesh, bright 

 red and very sweet.

BLACK BOULDER. 



It is enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size, with 

 rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any melon we have 

 ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are phenomenal, no 

 other melon equaling it in tough skin and rind; in this respect 

 even superior to the Kolb Gem.

 and sugary to the very thin rind.

GRAY MONARCH. OR LONG WHITE ICING. 



This distinct melon is without a doubt one of the largest of 

 all, frequently attaining a weight of 70 pounds and over. The 

 skin is a mottled srrav color, shape long, flesh bright crimson, 

 and of sweet, delicious flavor. It is also a fine shipper, carry- 

 ing well long distances and bringing very high prices.

 lar stripes of dark and light green alternating; in general ap- 

 pearance it is a dark green melon. It averages very iarge in 

 size, comparatively no small melons; is very productive; it is 

 also verv early in maturing.
