Kolb's Gem
Watermelon (AKA. Cobb Gem, Cobb's Gem, State Fair, American Champion)
Origin: United States
Item #: WATERMELON005
Kolb's Gem Watermelon, which
is also known under the names of Cobb's Gem, State Fair and American Champion
Watermelon, is a 19th century exhibition quality watermelon that produces
huge watermelons weighing beyond 100 pounds in weight. This wonderful giant
watermelon was originally developed by
Reuben F.
Kolb of Alabama in the 1880's. Kolb's Gem was first introduced to the public
at large by D.M. Ferry and Co. in 1885 and was also recorded by the Nebraska
Seed Company of Omaha, Nebraska in their annual catalogue in 1898. Its
first documented appearance under the name of "Cobb's Gem" ocurred after
the turn of the century when it was exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in St. Louis, Missourri in 1904. Following this, the variety
came to be the watermelon of choice for exhibition growers and also picked
up the names "State Fair Watermelon" and "American Champion Watermelon".
Reuben
Francis Kolb (1839-1918), the creator of this watermelon variety was an
important historical figure in Alabama State History who lived in Montogomery,
Alabama where he was a planter by trade. His family came from Germanic
stock and came to settle in South Carolina in the 1760's. His great grandfather,
Colonel Abel Kolb was an American Revolutionary War Hero who was killed
on the night of April 27-28th, 1781 at his farm on the Pee Dee River in
South Carlina. A memorial devoted to Abel Kolb can still be found at the
intersection of US 15-401 and Road 167 at Pee Dee River, South Carloina.
Reuben F. Kolb served as a Sargent in Company B of the 1st Alabama Confederate
Regiment. for 12 months during the American Civil War (1861-1865). In 1862,
he was promoted to the rank of Captain and organized and commanded an artillery
company now known to history as "Kolb's Battery". In the 1880's, after
the creation of his Kolb's Gem Watermelon, R.F. Kolb had gained sufficient
fortune and fame that he was elected to the office of Commisioner of Agriculture
in Alabama from 1887 to 1891. Kolb soon emerged as a powerful spokesman
for farmer's interests in his state and ran for the office of Governor
of Alabama in 1890, 1892 and 1894, subsequently losing all three electorial
bids. In 1911, he was again elected to his old post of Commisioner of Agriculture,
which he occupied until 1915. Through his lifetime, Kolb's influence on
his state's agriculture was so great that in 1941, a paper entitled "Reuben
Francis Kolb: His Influence on Agriculture in Alabama." was published by
Auburn University.
More
information about Kolb, his family and Kolb's Battery is available on varying
other websites for the inquisitive. More biographical information is available

Department of History Archives Site at this link. A guide to a collection
of Kolb family scrapbooks documenting his life are available at this direct

for exhibition purposes in the United States. Watermelons of this variety
weighing over 130 pounds have been recorded and the variety consistantly

OrangeGlo
Watermelon (aka. Orange Glo, Orange Glow, OrangeGlow)
Origin: United States
Item #: WATERMELON009
The OrangeGlo Watermelon
is widely regarded as the best of the yellow and orange watermelon varieties
that are being grown today. This delicious watermelon variety features
a very crisp, very sweet and very flavorful bright orange flesh with large
cream colored seeds.
The watermelons themselves
are of a long oval shape similar to the famous variety Georgia Rattlesnake
(aka. Garrison) and features a dark green rind that has darker stripes,
which wind up producing an effect that is similiar to the skin of a rattlesnake.
The rind is very thin, which unfortunately means that the OrangeGlo Watermelon
is very delicate and though it does not crack on the vine, the watermelons
are often easily damaged, so great care must be taken during the harvest
or preparation to avoid splitting or cracking the watermelon. Regrettfully,
due to the variety's delicateness, OrangeGlo has no genuine market value.
Still, OrangeGlo is still often the favorite of long time watermelon farmers
who grow this great tasting variety for their own use at home, while they
use others for the market. Each OrangeGlo Watermelon averages 30 to 50
pounds in weight.
The very vigorous vines are
very productive.
OrangeGlo matures late in
the season, but is well worth the wait! Read
