This new melon has proved itself to be a decided acquisition, no finer melon having been iDtroduccd. It originated on the 

 farm of a truck grower in North CaroUna, and is a cross between the Kolb Gem and Mountain Sweet, surpassing the former in 

 shipping qualities and fully equalling the latter in fine eating quality and flavor. It is from a week to 10 days earlier than either, 

 has aremarkably thin, tough rind, and as a keeper and shipper it has no equal. Its productiveness is unequalled; each vine 

 matures 7 to 8 large melons ; the vines are strong and rapid growers, and have more laterals than any other varieties; possessing 

 the valuable quality of rooting from every joint, which adds largely to the bearing and life of the vines. The flesh is bright 

 scarlet, of fine quality, almost down to the skin. The melons are of a dark green color and most beautifully striped, of oblong 

 shape. The melons in market bring the highest prices. Kolb's Gem are usually selling for 20 and 25 cents, -while the Dixie are 

 eagerly sought after and brin^ 30 and 35 cents each. To sum up its good qualities— it is The Most Productive, Finest 

 Eating, Best Shipper ever introduced. Per pkt. , 5 cts. ; oz , 10 cts. ; ^ lb. , 20 cts. ; lb., 60 cts. ; postpaid.
