New Southern Watermelon Now Called the Cherokee Beauty After two years' trial we had accumulated enough seed last year to put up and send out a few hun- dred packages of this new melon for trial among our customers whose orders indicated an interest in new watermelons. As will be seen by reading the testimonials published below, our high opinion of the merits of this melon is fully confirmed by the reports received. Although we have not room here to publish all of them, there was not one of the 81 received that did not give it the highest praise; in fact, nearly all were of about the same tenor of those we print. Our supply of the seed is rather limited this season and we cannot supply more than 4 ounces to any one purchaser at following prices : Per pkt., 15c; 2 pkts. for 25c; oz., 50c; 4 ounces for $1.50. What is said of New Southern or Cherokee Beauty Watermelon. P. C. Haynes, Plainrield, N. J., writes: "New Southern Watermelon excels any I have ever seen ; its great sweetness, solidity of flesh, good size, etc., make it the most desirable of all." H. E. Bugwardt, West Seneca, N. Y.i " New South- ern is the greatest producer and by far the finest melon I ever raised; quality the most delicious." A. W. Miles, Nixa, Mo. : " New Southern is the finest of all—every one a good one." J. B. McConaha, Tehachapi, Cal.: "New Southern was the best of eight other kinds I grew this season, producing more melons, larger and of finer flavor and more hardy than all others." C. H. Gardiner, East Marion, N. Y.: " New South- ern is simply immense ; in size and quality it is superior to any in our market."
