DZew Uriumph 'Watermelon 
Improved Netted or Rose Gem Strain 
This new Melon lias created quite a furore among Southern shippers the past two seasons on ac¬ 
count of the very high prices realized by the few who have grown them. Triumph is a cross between 
the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem, having the handsome dark green color of the former and the line 
shipping qualities of the latter, hut infinitely superior in flavor and grows much larger than either. Mr. 
D. II. Gilbert, a large Florida grower, writes us he gathered from half an acre 523 melons, weighingovor 
43 lbs. each, with no small melons on the vines. The ifonlicello Constitution publishes the weights of 4 
prize Triumph Melons, grown in Georgia, at 99 lbs., 95A lbs., 91} lbs and 89 Ills, respectively. Prices, 
selected seed, pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; } lb., 50c.; lb., §1.50.

rocky ford. The Great Colorado Nutmeg Melon. 
In the jiast few years Colorado has 
developed into a great melon-growing 
State. In 1898 over 800 carloads of 
these now celebrated Rocky Ford 
Muskmelons were shipped, reaching 
almost every • large market in the 
United States, realizing handsome 
profits, owing to their fine quality and 
appearance. “Never breaking down 
in shipping.” Nineteen carloads of 
these melons were also sent to the 
Omaha Exposition hy the Itocky Ford 
Growers’ Association as an advertise¬ 
ment. Rocky Ford is unquestionably 
one of the best early melons in exist¬ 
ence for market gardeners and ship¬ 
pers, as well as for the home garden.
