CHRISTIAN WECKESSER, NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. 20 WATER MELON. The Water Melon requires a warm sandy soil and moderately rich, to do its best. Cultivation is the same as for Musk Melons, but the distance between the hills should be just double. Stoke'a Extra Early. This is like the Hungarian Honey in shape and size but is rath- er earlier. It also bears well and is a good va- riety for home use. Pkt. 6c; oz. 12c. Seminole. This is a fine melon. The quality is good, the size large enough to market, and it is early. The color is gray and light green. Pkt. 3c; oz. 8c; ft>. 40c. Kolb Gem. Largely grown for shipment to northern markets, and hard to equal for that purpose. It is nearly round, dark green, mar- bled with lighter shades. Pkt. 5, oz 8, lb, 45c. Peerless. A solid oblong melon with a thin rind and white seeds. Fine for home use. Excellent quality. Pkt. 3c.; oz. 10c; lb. 50c. Hungarian Honey.—Probably the sweetest water melon. It does not grow large, but almost all are alike in shape and col- or. They rip- en early and are very pro- ductive. It is admirably ad- apted for those who grow them only for home supply and es- pecially for those at the north. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c Green and Gold. A fine yellow-flesh- ed variety, making a pleasing contrast with the red. Pkt. 3e ; oz. 10c; lb.
