. Cole's garden annual. KLECKLEY SWEETS WATER MELON OR MONTE CRISTO The introducer says: In ouiextensive trials of watermelons,we fail to find any of so uniform-ly fine quality as the KleckleySweets. It is the unanimous ver-dict of growers that it is the finest of Water-melons for home use ornearby market. The only draw-back to the variety is that thefruits are too tender to standshipment. The vines are strongand vigorous and the fruits growuniformly to quite large size; ob-long in form. The skin is a richdark green, while the flesh isbright scarlet, ripening close tothe skin, the rind being onlyabout one-half inch in solid heart, which does not crack open when ripe, as is the case in many large Melons. Therich, scarlet flesh is crisp, sugary, and melting to the highest degree, being entirely free from any•tringiness. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., *4 lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 McIVERS SUGAR WATER MELON This new variety is sent out bv Mr. Mauleas the WONDERFUL SUGAR MELON, itsdelicious melting flavor surpassing everyknown variety. It originated on the planta-tion of Col. Mclver of South Carolina, whohas been growing it in preference to allother sorts, seed originally coming from theWest Indies. One of the greatest excellenciesof this Melon is its ability to withstand wetweather. All those who have grown it, em-bracing among them many of the most cel-ebrated melon growers, unanimously endorseMclvers Sugar without exception as the mostperfect and thoroughbred melon they haveever raised, and in flavor far ahead of any-thing they ever conceived of in a watermelon. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., M cts., lb. 60 cts.
