Ne^v 7 Victoria Spinel}. 



This new variety comes from Germany and has proved 

 after repeated trials, to be the earliest we have ever 

 grown. The foliage is heavy, the broad, dark green 

 leaves are of the true savoy type and of the very finest 

 quality. It is specially valuable for private and market 

 gardeners, from the fact that it remains in fine condi- 

 tion from two to three weeks after all other varieties 

 have run to seed. We have the genuine stock from the 

 originators. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 15 cts., lb. 45 cts.,

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

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

 shipping qualities and full v equalling the latter in fine eating quality and flavor. It is froma week to 10 days earlier than either, 

 has a remarkably 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 everv joint, which adds largely to the bearing and lif e of the vines. The flesh is bright 

 scarlet, of- fine <fualitv, almost dow% to the skin The melons are of a dark green color and most beautifully striped, cf oblong 

 shape. The melons in market bring the highest prices. Kolb's Gem are usually selling for20and 25 cents, while the Dixieare 

 eag(>rlv sought after and brin*- 3*>and 35 cents each. To sum uo its good qualities— it is The Most Productive, Fines!;
