New Things in Watermelons and The Magnetic Jet Return
A lively market report from Arch Street wharf notes watermelons arriving by boat mainly from New Jersey and Maryland with occasional southern shipments from Georgia and Florida. New varieties are described as vanilla and lemon-veral, created by injecting flavors into the vine or pulp, though doctored melons are said to be rare. Vendors share ways to serve melons, from plain to peppered, vinegary salads to molasses and lemon additions, and one customer enjoys melons with cold baked beans. Miss Lola Hurst, the "Georgian wonder," travels from Cedartown via Chattanooga after a north eastern tour, discussing her mysterious strength and the money earned on tour with plans to work with Charles Frohman and perform in San Francisco and the western circuit.
