MOUNTAIN SWEET. An old standard variety; size large, flavor good, rind thin, dark in color; best for garden culture. Pkt. 5c. oz. 10c. H lb. 20c, lb. 60c. ICE CREAM or PEEREESS. The best of all watermelons; solid, always of good flavor, rind very thin. Unequaled in good qualities. Pkt. 5c , oz. 10c, H lb. 20c. lb. 60c. ^ ICING or ICE REND. The best of all watermelons; solid, always of good flavor; rind very thin. Unequaled in all good qualities. There are two types of Icing—one dark skinned, the other light skinned; the shape, size and flavor are the same. The light may be a few days later. In ordering, please state which kind you prefer. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, H lb. 20c. lb. 60c BLACK SPANISH. Round, very dark green, with scarlet flesh and black seeds. It is not so large as some of the other sorts, but has a very thin rind, and a rich, sugary flavor. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, H lb. 20c, lb. 66c GYPSY or RATTLESNAKE. The largest of all the varieties of watermelons, long, smooth, distinctly striped with light mottled and wavy, dark green, regular stripes. Flesh bright scarlet and very sugary. Thin-skinned, but bears carriage well, which, together with its large size, will make it an exceedingly popular late market variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. H lb. 20c. lb. 60c. KOLB'S GEM. Vines of medium size, but remarkably vigorous and healthy. Fruit of the largest size, round or slightly oval, marked with irregular mottled stripes of dark and very light green in sharp contrast, which gives it a bright and attractive appearance. Flesh bl ight red, extending to within half an inch of the land; always solid, very firm, a little coarse, but sweet and tender. An excellent keeper. All who have grown it agree in pronouncing it one of the largest, most productive, best keeping and shipping melons ever grown. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. H lb. 20c, lb. 60c. JONES' JEM BO. The shape is round, color green with faint lighter stripes; deep red meat, surpassing all other va- rities in flavor and size, and as a market melon sells more rapidly and for higher prices. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, H lb. 20c, lb. 6Cc. PRIDE OF GEORGIA. A much better table variety than the Kolb Gem, though not so good a shipper, owing to the exceeding thinness and tenderness of the rind. In form the melons are an oblong-oval, bearing identifications some- what like the muak melon. The vines are exceedingly prolific, yielding a much larger crop last season than any other varietv planted.® Pkt. 5c, oz, 10c, H lb. 20c, lb. 60c. FLORDIA FAVORITE. Oblong in sfeape, growing to very large size, rind dark, with light green stripes, flesh light crimson, crisp and deliciously sweet. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, H lb. 20c, lb. 60c. HUNGARIAN HONEY. A new variety brought from Hungary a few years since. They grow round as a cannon ball, very uniform in size and weight, running from ten to twelve pounds. The outside skin is dark green, rind very thin, flesh red and usually sweet and luscious. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, H lb. 20c. lb. 60c.
