both the North and South, 
and is an excellent market 
and home melon. It is of a 
lightish green color and a fa- 
vofite everywhere. The flesh 
is dark red and is remark¬ 
ably sweet, delicious and 
crisp. Pkt. 5c.; oz. l#c. ; 1-4

ALABAMA SWEET. - 
Altogether this Is a first-rate 
business melon and a popu¬ 
lar one. Highly recommend¬ 
ed for the South, where it 
originated, and I am confi¬ 
dent that it will he a prize 
winner in the North. A dark 
green melon with light seeds. 
A first-class shipper, of good 
size, with flesh that is sim¬ 
ply delicious. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 
10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c. ; lb. 60c. 
EDEN.— This is similar 
in shape and appearance 
to Kolb Gem, except that 
it has a brighter stripe, 
and is a little larger and of a more attractive ap¬ 
pearance. It is a very popular market variety 
wherever grown, being a cross of Kolb Gem and 
Rattlesnake, and it combines the good shipping quali¬ 
ties of Kolb Gem and the good eating qualities of 
Rattlesnake. A desirable variety. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c.; 
1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 60c. 
DARK, RIND KOLB GEM OR FCBBURG.— 
(Sometimes called Yellow-Bellied Kolb Gem.) This va¬ 
riety somewhat resembles the old Kolb Gem in size 
and appearance, but darker in coloring both inside and 
out. This variety is very much superior to the old 
Kolb Gem in quality and equal to it as a shipping 
melon. Where it rests on the ground it is yellow, 
while the old Kolb Gem is nearly white. The shape is 
oblong to nearly round. The rind is thin, but very 
tough. It has been largely grown in this section and 
in many parts of the South on account of its excellent 
shipping qualities. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c.; 1-4 lb. 20c.; 
lb. 60c. 
BLACK BOULDER.— Enormously productive and 
mammoth size, with rich, dark green skin. The true 
stock of this variety cuts equal to any on the market, 
and its shipping qualities are very good. It is one of 
the largest varieties grown. Pkt. 5c.; oz. l@e.; 1-4 lb. 
20c. ; lb. 60c. 
THE DIXIE,.— One of the most prolific varieties 
grown, often producing two or three melons on a sin¬ 
gle vine. Of highest quality and value. The size is 
large, specimens often weighing 50 lbs. The flesh is 
scarlet, very fine and extra firm. The rind is thin, 
but tough, making it an excellent keeper and a good 
market sort. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 
RADISHES. 
SCARLET GLOBE. 
SCARLET GLOBE. — This is my favorite of all 
the varieties for market purposes. It will bear forcing 
without becoming pithy in character or suffering in¬ 
jury to its flavor. Its attractive shape is shown in the 
illustration. Its color is rich scarlet, which has a 
small top, and is in all respects a high-grade radish. 
The very best early market variety. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 
1-4 lb. 20c: lb. 50c. 
ICICLE.- Long white, and very early. It is long 
and slender, tapering in shape, and of perfectly white 
color. Grows quickly to market size, and is crisp and 
brittle; flavor mild. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; 
lb. 60c. 
ICALIEORNIA WHITE WINTER. —* Grown 
extensively in California and is very large in size, 
growing to 8 to 20 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in 
diameter. It is white, solid and of good quality. Pkt. 
5c ; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; lb. 50c. 
LONG SCARLET SHORT TOP.-Th« tost of 
the long, scarlet radishes. It makes beautiful radishes 
which are always brittle and sweet 25 to 30 days from 
sowing. Undoubtedly the standard long red variety 
for market and the home garden. Pkt. 5c: 00 . 10c; 
1-4 lb. 20c; lb. 50c. 
EARLY DARK RED. — A great favorite with 
some market gardeners. A fine variety and generally 
gives satisfaction. It is beautifully colored, as implied 
by its name. It makes a very rapid growth and is one 
of the sweetest and tenderest radishes in the list. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; lb. 60c. 
WHITE TIP SCARLET TURNIP Color is 
scarlet, with white top, as indicated by its name. It 
is quick to mature, being ready for the table, when 
forced in the greenhouse, from 17 to 20 days from 
planting. An excellent market variety, either for 
greenhouse or outdoor planting. Pkt. 5c*; oz. 10c; 1-4 
lb. 20c; lb. 50c.
