This is a remarkably heavy yielder and one of the finest table melons. It is two weeks earlier than Kolb's Gem or Gypsy; of me- dium size, colored with light and dark green stripes alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, sweet, very firm and crisp. Its earliness and quality make it popular with those who plant for their own use and prefer quality to enormous size. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, yjtb. 20c, ft. 60c. Duke Jones. This fine large showy variety originated with the introducer of several of our very best melons, and he pronounces it the largest, most prolific and finest quality of any watermelon in ex- istence. One grower says that 65 days after plant- ing he picked the first ripe melon ripened close up to the rind, and pronounced by all who tasted it the finest flavored of the season, meat solid and of fine flavor; for home use one of the best and its shipping qualities are unexcelled. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, Kft- 20c, ft. 50c. Mountain Sweet. One of the best for general culture. Color dark green; rind thin; flesh scarlet, solid, very sweet and delicious.

Uniformly round and grows to a good size, often attaining a weight of 25 to 40 fts.; its flesh is bright red and flavor excellent; rind dark green, striped and very tough. It is unsurpassed as a shipping melon, retaining its freshness and sweetness for a long time. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 34ft- 20c, ft. 50c. Gypsy, or Georgia Rattlesnake. L
