KOLB'S GEM—It originated with one of the largest melon frowers or Alabama, and is a Hybrid of Scaly Baric and Rattlesnake, he rind, though quite thin, is Tory tough, standing handling and shipment long distances without breakage. Theiloshis of bright red and of excellent flavor. All who have grown it agree in pronouncing it one of the largest, most productive, best keeping and shipping melons over introduced. DIXIE—In this wo have a new water melon or excellent merits and we can recommend it to our customers as the uest shipping melon grown, being oven larger, eaelieb and fae moke pro- BDCTive than the Kolb's Gem, which has heretofore been considered the best melon for shipping. It is of a very hue appearance, being much darker than Kolb's Gem and more beautifully striped; it is longer and extremely hardy, while its eating quality is unexcelled, lacing sweet, juicy and tender. Anothervery important point iaits productiveness* having six to eight large melons on a vine. THE BOSS—This is one of the first among the earliest: very productive and of delicious flavor. In shape it is oblong, color very aark, flesh of an unusually deep scarlet, rich in sugar, delicious melting flavor. JUMBO—The shape is round, color groen with faint lighter stripes; deep-red meat, surpassing all other varieties as much in flavor as in size, and as a market melon sells more rapidly and for higher prices. They grow to weigh eighty pounds—from 10 to CO pounds is common. It matures three to four days later than ordinary kinds. GOLDEN HONEY—Tho flesh is of a deep, rich yellow color, and in delicious sweetness and raro quality reminds one of honey, be- ing without excep- tion the sweetest melon we evor raised.
