The heart is unusually large, there is little or no cavity and very few seeds, all solid flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to the rind (see cut). JUMBO JONES—In shape this melon is almost round; the skin is green, with faint stripes of a lighter green; they grow to an enormous size, with a very tough rind, making a valuable shipping variety (see cut). HOOSIER KING—This melon grows long, and of even diameter throughout the entire length. The flesh is brilliant red, very solid, sweet and luscious; the skin is striped light and dark green, the rind is very thin but exceedingly hard; a good shipper (sec cut). MAMMOTH IRONCLAD—Grows to a very large, uniform size, of oblong shape, very thick, and retains its thickness at both ends; the flesh is of a dainty red color, of a rich, sugary flavor. The heart is very large; flesh is always firm, and under ordinary cultivation they have often weighed 60 pounds (see cm*) . FLORIDA'S FAVOR- ITE—This variety is one of the earliest, and also one of the finest melons in cultivation; oblong in shape, growing to a very large size; rind dark green, with light green stripes.
