Nurseries (Horticulture) Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. This magnificent melon is of ob- long shape, very thick through, and retains its thickness at both stem I and blossom end. The skin is beau- tifully striped with very light green. The nesh is of a dainty*red color, of rich, sugary flavor; the heart is very large. The flesh is always firm, re- markably solid. Under ordinary cultivation we have had hundreds of melons weighing from sixty to seventv pounds each, while in 1886 John G. Miller, of Stone Moun- tain, Georgia, won our prize of $ with a Mammoth Ironclad of one hundred and ten pounds weight, to which he took affidavit. While not producing so many melons to the acre as smaller varieties, they pro- duce a greater weight. They are veritably Ironclad—cutting into one is just like cutting into a citron, and none carries better to ship to dis- tant markets.
