SOUTHERN 

 BEAUTY CANTELOUPE. 



THE MUSK MELON FOR THE SOUTH. 



This is a new introduction of great merit and 

 value. It is of medium size, extraordinarily pro- 

 lific, very heavily netted, green fleshed and of de- 

 licious flavor. 



The Grower says: "It is the flnest Canteloupe I 

 have ever planted, particularly suited to the South- 

 ern climate. It is remarkably free from rot of all 

 sorts, caused by damp or rainy weather, and will 

 holu up a long time after they have ripened, the 

 outer rind remaining firm and sound for at least 

 ten days after the melon first ripens." Again he 

 says: "I shipped these Canteloupes last season 

 from this point to Chicago, 111., Cleveland and Cin- 

 cinnati, Ohio, by freight, where they arrived in 

 perfect condition, and brought fancy prices." This 

 was proof positive of its fine keeping and shipping 

 qualities.

WATERMELON. 



German, Wassei*-Melone. 



(One ounce of seed to 30 hills.) 



Watermelons require a rich, sandy soil for best 

 development. Cultivate the same as for cante- 

 loupes, except that the hills should be eight to ten 

 feet apart. 



THE] JONES.— This is a splendid Melon. The 

 color of the skin is solid green, and the flesh is a 

 very bright red, particularly sweet, juicy and melt- 

 ing. It grows to a large size, frequently attaining 

 the weight of eighty pounds. In shape it resembles 

 Kolb's Gem, and, like that variety, is one of the 

 best shipping sorts.

We wish to call special attention to this splendid

 color, deliciously sweet, and extending close up to 

 the rind. It has a thin, hard rind, beautifully mot-

 color, fine texture and excellent flavor cembine to make
