New Water Melon, 44 PRIDE OF GEORGIA.” 
This new melon, which originated in Monroe Co., Ga., isdescribed 
by the originator, a well known seed-grower of Georgia, as follows : 
“I consider this melon par excellence; superior to all melons of 
which we have any knowledge. It is a dark green mottled color, 
nearly oval, ridged like an orange, grows as represented, partly upon 
its end; is firm, will ship well, and when well cultivated in good soil, 
attains a large size.” 
“ What is claimed for this melon especially above all others is, 
that for crispness, sweetness and flavor it stands among all the various 
types of melons, at the head of the list.” 
The seeds I offer are from the originator, and grown in Georgia. 
Price; per ib, $5.00; per oz., 50c.; by mail, postage paid. 
New Water Melon, “MAMMOTBI IRON-CLAD.” 
This melon originated with a prominent melon-grower in South 
Delaware, and resembles in its markings the popular Caban Queen. 
In shape and seed, however, it is quite distinct, being deeper and fuller 
at both ends, with seeds of drab-white color. It grows uniformly very 
large, and is an enormous yielder; flesh very red, and of excellent 
flavor. The rind is extremely tough and hard, thus rendering it valu¬ 
able for shipping, while its keeping qualities .are not surpassed by any 
other melon. 
Price; per lb, $3.00 ; per oz., 40c. By mail, postage paid.
