Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb, 60c. 'Florida Favorite—This excellent variety is a re- markably heavy yielder and one of the finest table melons. Of medium size, colored with light and dark green stripes alternately; flesh deep red, delicious, sweet, very firm and crisp. Its earliness and quality make it popular with those who plant for their own use and prefer quality to enormous size. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb, 60c. Kolbe's Gem—This new variety, introduced in 1884, originated in Alabama. It is a hybrid of the Scaly Bark and Rattlesnake, and is an excellent shipping variety. It has a very tough rind, and carries in good condition without breakage. They grow uniformly round, of about equal diameter each way. The stripes of light green are generally narrow and of a dull color. The flesh is bright red and of a good flavor. The melons grow to a fair market size, from 30 to 50 pounds each in weight. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb, 60c. Kolbe's Gem. Georgia Rattlesnake, or Gypsy—Very large, long and smooth, distinctly striped, flesh bright scarlet and very sugary; a favorite shipping melon in the South. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb, 60c. Dixie—This new Water Melon has excellent merits and we can recommend it to our cus- tomers as the best shipping melon grown, being even larger, earlier and far more pro- ductive than the Kolb's Gem, which has heretofore been considered the best melon for shipping. It is of a very fine appearance, being much darker than Kolb's Gem and more beautifully striped; it is longer and extremely hard
