what the originator, W. A. Kleckley, of Alabama, claims for it—one of the best and sweetest 
flavored in cultivation. Skin dark green, thin rind. Flesh scarlet, very solid, firm and most 
luscious quality. For the home market or family garden it is decidedly one of the best.

hold its own in the “watermelon patch” for many years to come. Vine vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive, ripening its fruit early ; fruit large, oval, very heavy, uniformly mottled light and 
dark green ; rind thin, but firm ; flesh bright red, firm and solid, but very tender, melting 
and very sweet. Remains in condition for use longer than any other sort; seeds gray,

Cole’s Early. A fine melon for the private garden, but too brittle for long shipments ; 
very early; of medium size and very productive, and a sure cropper; well adapted to the 
northern states. Honest pkt. 5c, oz. 8c, 1-4 lb. 12c, lb. 40c. 
Black Boulder. For this grand, new and distinct watermelon we are indebted to 
Aaron Paul, the veteran melon grower of New Jersey. It is enormously productive, reach¬ 
ing 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 
skm and rind, 111 this respect even superior to Kolb Gem. While it is fast becoming one of 
the leading melonsTor market, it is one of the best “all round” melons in existence, and 
or the family garden it is also without a peer. Honest pkt. 5c, oz. 8c, 1-4 lb. 15c, lb. 50c.
