GEORGIA RATTLESNAKE—AUGUSTA RATTLESNAKE 
A large long melon, striped very light and dark green, rather thick rind, flesh red and of 
good quality. Very prolific and hardy. Withstands drouth better than most. Seeds white with 
black markings. Ripens ten days after second early varieties. 
SCHOCHLER 
A very large, thick, long, melon; dark green, with irregular and indistinct light .green 
stripes or markings. Larger at bud end than at stem end. One of the best very large melons. 
Vines vigorous, the plentiful foliage protecting the melons from discoloration by sun in late 
summer. With good culture will produce melons up to 85 pounds weight. Rind rather thick. 
Flesh bright red, of good texture, crisp and sweet. A good late melon. White seed. 
IMPROVED SCHOCHLER 
A decided improvement on the original Schochler. While retaining the large size of 
Schochler, the melons are more uniform in shape, being practically the same thickness from 
end to end. The vines are much more prolific, and the rich red flesh is melting and deliciously 
sweet. One of the best varieties for mid season, home gardens or for shipping. 
FLORIDA FAVORITE 
A medium sized melon of excellent quality. Second early. Color, light and dark green 
striped. Vines hardy, prolific. Rind thin, flesh bright red, very sweet and tender. An excellent 
variety for home gardens and nearby markets. Will not bear shipping. Seed white. 
BLACK EXCEL 
A very large, long melon. Color dark green, striped with lighter green. Thick, tough 
rind. Good shipper. Very attractive in appearance. Quality variable. Seeds black, with oc¬ 
casional white. 
LIGHT EXCEL 
Large, thick, long, dark green melon, with irregular stripings of lighter green which are 
not very conspicuous, and often almost disappear as melon matures. Its thick, tough rind makes 
it a good keeper and good shipper. Quality fair, and an enormous yielder. Seed white with 
black markings. 
RIBAULT — RADIO 
Very similar to Light Excel in all respects. 
BLACK GYPSY 
An excellent variety but not widely distributed. Very dark green in color, medium size, 
long type, very red, tender, sweet flesh. Medium early. 
PERFECTION 
Very similar to Halbert’s Honey, but thicker and tougher rind makes it a good shipping 
melon. Ripens a few days later than Halbert. 
TOM WATSON 
A very popular shipping melon of the long type. Medium green with indistinct veining 
of darker green. Rind very tough. One of the best shippers, and keeps well. Red flesh of good 
quality. Seeds brown, shading to white. Early. 
PRIDE OF MUSCATINE 
A wilt resistant strain of Kleckley Sweet,which it resembles very closely. A much thicker, 
tougher, rind makes it a good shipper. The quality is not so good as that of Kleckley Sweet. 
Ripens a week later. 
COLES EARLY

Very prolific and hardy. Flesh pink, good. A valuable sort for first early, and for planting 
where the seasons are very short. Seeds black, with occasional white seed.
