liLAL'K BOT'LDER W AIKKMELON. JOHNSON'S DIXIE WATERMELON. 
BLACK BOULDER—The Great Shipping Watermelon 
For thin grand new and distinct watermelon we are indebted to the late Aaron Paul. It is 
enormously productive, reaching a mammoth size, with rich, dark green skin. It cuts equal to any 
market melon we have ever eaten, and its shipping qualities are phenomenal, no other melon equaling 
it in tough skin and rind. While it has rapidly become one of the leading melons for market, it is one 
■of the best “ all round ’’ melons in existence, and for the family garden it is also without a peer. Pkt., 
-5c.; oz., 10c.; i lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
GENUINE JOHNSON’S DIXIE WATERMELON 
The true Johnson’s Dixie is a cross between the Kolb Qem and Old Fashioned Mountain Sweet, 
and surpasses the Kolb Gem in shipping qualities, and fully equalB the Mountain Sweet, Kleckley and 
Florida Favorite in superior eating quality, and is ten days earlier than any of them. Its great pro¬ 
ductiveness is shown from the fact that it frequently matures six to eight large melons to the vine. 
Owing to the great popularity of this variety, another and much inferior melon is frequently substituted 
and sold for it. If you want quality and genuine seed, send to the Introducers. Price, per pkt., 5c.; oz.,
