KLECKLEY SWEETS WATER MELON OR MONTE CRISTO The introducer says: "In oui extensive trials of watermelons, we fail to find any of so uniform- ly fine quality as the Kleckley Sweets. It is the unanimous ver- dict of growers that it is the finest of for home use or nearby r larket. The only draw- back to the variety is that the fruits »re too tender to stand shipment The vines are strong and vigorous and the fruits grow uniformly to quite large size; ob- long in form. The skin is a rich dark green, while the flesh is bright scarlet, ripening close to the skin, the rind being only about one-half inch in thickness. Large solid heart, which does not crack open when ripe, as is the case in many large Melons. The rich, scarlet flesh is crisp, sugary, and melting to the highest degree, being entirely free from any â tringinesB. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 *4 lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 McIVER'S SUGAR WATER MELON This new variety is sent out by Mr. Maule as the WONDERFUL SUGAR MELON, its delicious melting flavor surpassing every known variety. It originated on the planta- tion of Col. Mclver of South Carolina, who has been' growing it in preference to all other sorts, seed originally coming from the West Indies. One of the greatest excellencies of this Melon is its ability to withstand wet weather. All those who have grown it, em- bracing among them many of the most cel- ebrated melon growers, unanimously endorse Mclver's Sugar without exception as the most perfect and thoroughbred melon they have ever raised, and in flavor far ahead of any- thing they eveJr conceived of in a water melon.
