ANGEL'S KISS WATERMELON. 



401 



This fine watermelon originated in Texas and my attention was first 

 directed to it on account of its most remaricable name. After giving it 

 a thorongii trial at Panmure I have come to the conclusion there is 

 only one objection to this superb melon and that is its name. Angel's 

 Kiss originated with one of the largest Southern melon growers who 

 named it Angel's Kiss on account of its delicious flavor. It is a hand- 

 some melon of large oblong shape, which is well shown in the illus- 

 tration herewith. The flesh is bright red, solid, firm and of melting 

 flavor. The vine is a remarkably strong vigorons grower and a heavy 



Watermelon 



bearer of large mottled, silver gray melons with very tough thin rind. 

 The melons measure from 20 to 80 inches in length, with an average 

 weight of from 80 to 40 pounds each, ripening through and through 

 and is one of the very earliest good melons in cultivation. The seed Is 

 pure white. In conclusion I would say that growers lor market will 

 find Angel's Kiss a rapid seller, a good shipper and a melon that will 

 be called for to the exclusion of other sorts by customers after they 

 have once sampled it. My supply of seed of this handsome melon 

 has been grown for me by the originator.
