Halbert, of Texas, who grows 30 acres every year for his home trade and he challenges the world to produce its equal in beauty, quality, productiveness, and market demand on the part of lovers of melons. It fully equals the Kleckley in svveet flavor and has fruits more even and regular in outline, with a darker, richer colored skin, making it more attractive in appearance. The vine is a strong, vigorous grower and sets fruits very freely. The flesh is a beautiful crimson, the seed is white and comparatively small. It is essentially a home melon for the nearby market, as the skin is too brittle to ship long distances. In quality it is simply delicious, sugary, and of rich fruity flavor peculiar to itself, devoid of all stringiness, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like honey. We invite everyone to give it a trial. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts.,-% lb. 30 cts., 1 lb. $ J have had good svccess with your seeds and have planted them for many years. Always of strong vitality and trkte to name.—Nelson HanJcs, Edgar County, Illinois. NEW WATER MELON TOM WATSON This new variety has been on the market only a short time and has become one of the most popular sorts for shipping and market. The luscious crimson flesh is as sweet as honey, melting and of superb flavor. The average melon is 18 to 24 inches long by 10 to 12 inches thick, weighing from 30 to 40 lbs. The dark green rind is tough but thin and easily withstands shipment to far distant markets. It is very prolific, producing in greatest abundance the large delicious fruits. We believe the Tom Watson is one of the very best melons sent out lately. Sure to take a leading place with melon growers. Shape of this variety same as above cut
