Best by Test for over Sixty Years 
Radio Renamed Ribault Watermelon 
Ribault We have heard nothing but praise 
— for this melon—which for the first 
three years had been sold under the name of 
Radio, which the originator has changed to 
Ribault—and we believe that it is destined to be 
a leading shipping variety. The rind is 
green, indistinctly s.triped with lighter green, 
and will average larger than the Tom Watson. 
While the rind is only medium thick, it is very 
tough, and will stand rough usage in shipping, 
as under ordinary handling the rind will not 
break. The flesh is bright red, sweet, and free 
from hard centers. You will make no mistake 
in planting some of this remarkable melon.

RaVOTlfp There are few watermelons equal to this in sweetness and tenderness, but it is rather undersize. 
■ The shape is oblong and the color of the rind dark green with light green stripes. The flesh 
is really melting, having less fibre than any other except perhaps Kleckley Sweet. Notwithstanding the introduction of so 
many large, fine melons, we still have quite a demand for it for home gardens, and it is still holding its own for all local 
markets, so great is its reputation for uniformly good quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 34 lb. 20 cts., lb. 75 cts. Postpaid. 
Georgia Rattlesnake 
This melon, known also as the Striped Gypsy, is an oblong variety with decided stripes of 
light and dark green. The rind is tough and rather thick, while the flesh is bright red and 
of splendid quality. It attains a large size, is particularly handsome and can be shipped perhaps as far as any other kind. 
A splendid variety for late use. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 34 lb. 20 cts., lb. 75 cts. Postpaid. 
Wonder 
Since its introduction this variety has 
become one of the favorites. No 
melon has received more praise in the short time 
of its existence—and justly so, for it is one of the 
sweetest, finest-flavored melons grown. In shape 
it is very much like our Perfection, and the rind 
is dark glossy green. While the rind is rather 
thin, it is tough enough to carry short distances. 
The flesh is bright red, fine g,rained, sweet, and 
most delicious. It is also very productive, yield¬ 
ing quantities of fine large melons. Pkt. 5 cts., 
oz. 10 cts., 34 lb. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts. Postpaid.

melon of medium size that

Stone Mountain Watermelon 
Schochlcr This variety originated in Texas, and is a very desir-

Tom Watson. The rind is medium green, with faint stripes that are 
even darker, and is tough enough to stand long distance shipping.

tractive that it sells on sight. The flesh is dark red, fine grained, 
and very sweet. While it is not overproductive, there is seldom any
