Large vigorous vines, that come into bearing rather late, and should have very rich, or well- manured soil. The flesh resembles that of Kolb's Gem. DIXIE.—This is a new melon of excellent quality. Flesh red and tender, ripening evenly and all good; size medium to large; skin dark green, beauti- fully mottled and very attractive. A heavy cropper and fine for shipping or home use. DARK ICING, or ICE RIND.—A distinct variety, resembling in size and shape the Peerless or Ice Cream, but is lighter in color, and faintly mottled. The rind is not thick, but rather firm. The flesh is remarkably juicy, sweet and delicious. LIGHT ICING, or JORDAN'S GRAY MONARCH.—A very large variety; light green in color, flesh light red. tender and sweet. Considered by many the best melon grown. BLACK SPANI5>H.—A round melon of medium size; rind very dark green, thin but firm; seeds black. The flesh is deep scarlet, firm, with no hard center, and is remarkably sweet and delicious. One of the best for the family garden; also much used for marketing.

CITRON.—A small round Melon with a hard shell, used exclusively in making preserves. Flesh white, seeds red. COLORADO CITR
