Duke Jones Watermelon. 



In shape the "Duke Jones" resembles very closely 

 the Kolb Gem. The rind is darker green in color, 

 with indistinct irreg-ular stripes of dark and light 

 green alternating'; the g'eneral appearance is that it 

 is a dark green melon. It averages verj- large in 

 size, comparatively no small melons, is verj' pro- 

 ductive; it is also verj- early in maturing, ripe mel- 

 ons being plucked from the vine just 67 days from 



date of planting. Its chief claim for popularity is 

 its delicious flavor. The flesh is crisp and very 

 STveet, firm but not tough, no hard middles, but 

 ripens evenly throughout; flesh deep crimson in 

 color. The '"Duke Jones" is the largest of melons, 

 but has no superior in its delicious flavor.

MclVER'S 

 SUGAR WATERMELON. 



This new Watermelon was first brought to notice 

 by Col. E. R. Mclver, of North Carolina, the seed 

 having come originall3^ from the West Indies. In 

 outward appearance it somewhat resembles the 

 old Rattlesnake. The quality, however, is so 

 much superior that it is an injustice to mention the 

 Rattlesnake on the same page with it, as it even 

 surpasses such excellent varieties as Florida Favor- 

 ite and Icing. It is also an extremely productive 

 and hardy varietj*. never cracking or losing its fine 

 flavor in the wettest seasons.

DIXIE.— This new Melon came to us with the 

 highest recommendations as to its productive and 

 shipping qualities, and our experience with it has 

 fully borne out all that was claimed for it. Its 

 eating quality is equal to the best. It is earlier and 

 larger than the well-known and popular Kolb G-em, 

 and in color a darker green, with beautiful stripes, 

 making it one of the handsomest Melons on the 

 market. Flesh, deep red, sugary and melting.
