TOM WATSON WATERMELON. 
« Lom Watson Watermelon 
The Most Popular of All the Shipping Melons ~ 
Although comparatively a new melon it seems to be an instantane- 
ous success in some of the very best watermelon growing sections of 
the country. The above illustration was taken from a melon sent into 
our office of an average specimen of the stock our seed was being saved 
from; it weighed 36 pounds, and our boys at the office in sampling it, 
thought it about as delicious a melon as they had ever eaten. Tom 
Watson is a long, dark, mottled green melon, which at times grows 
exceptionally large, often weighing from 60 to 70 pounds, and is at the 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 po 
und, 40 cents; pound, $1.25, postpaid. 
Same time one of the most prolific melons in cultivation. It is a most 
excellent shipper for long distances, although the rind is thin, the flesh 
is of most superb quality and intense red in color. On some markets 
the past season it sold readily while old style melons were neglected. In 
conclusion would say, where three or four acres were grown in 1908, in 
1913 several hundred were planted, and this history repeats itself wher- 
ever Tom Watson has been introduced. We have secured a fine lot of 
direct headquarters seed, which we offer at the following prices: 
APPLE PIE CITRON MELON. 
a» Apple Pie Citron Melon 
This is a novelty of unusual value and one that will appeal 
to all our customers. Fruit and vine grow very similar to 
the watermelon but the flesh is used exclusively for sauces, 
pies and preserying, etc., haying a most delicious flavor, 
resembling somewhat the flavor of apples. The flesh is white 
and solid. Each vine produces 5 to 15 melons so filled with 
fruit that a large sized one will make as many pies as a half 
bushel of apples. They keep fresh and solid all winter, so 
can be used when wanted, and owing to their value as stock 
focd, any surplus not used for home cooking can be fed all 
winter to stock. It will pay to raise them for this purpose 
alone. This citron melon is not for eating in its raw state, 
but for preserving, and largely used for this purpose. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; } pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 
HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON. 
a: Halbert Honey Watermelon 
This melon is described by the introducers as follows: 
Equaling in flavor and as handsome in color as the Kleckley 
Sweets, but more regular in form and much more productive. 
Growing as long as the Kleckley Sweets, the melons are 
blunt both at stem and blossom end, generally free from any 
appearance of neck. They average 18 to 20 inches in length; 
6 to 8 inches in diameter. Color of rind a clear, glossy deep 
green. The flesh is a beautiful crimson, extending to within 
less than half an inch of the rind, which, like the flesh, is so 
tender it will not stand shipping any distance unless care- 
fully handled. It is essentially the home melon for the home 
garden and for local markets. We offer direct headquarters 
seed that cannot be surpassed. 
Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; } pound, 30 cts.; pound, 90 cts.
