Stokes* Hard Shell Kleckley Sweets Watermelon 



I believe Stokes' Hard Shell Kleckley Sweets Watermelon is the best and most profitable Watermelon you can grow. All the seed of this 

 melon I have to offer is Pedigree Stock that I know all about, and I know will produce money-making results. — WALTER P. STOKES. 



The Kleckley Sweets has long been one of our most popular melons for the home market. It has the sweetness, the fine grain and the 

 luscious flavor of the perfect melon, but unfortunately its thin and brittle rind has made it undesirable as a shipping melon for market. In 

 this new strain, now offered, there is developed a melon with a shell hard enough to carry to market, having been carefully selected for a 

 series of years for this result. The rind is not thick, but the skin is so hard and tough that it resists the jolts and jars of travel to a remark- 

 able degree. The seed I offer has all been saved from the largest selected melons and should produce splendid results. Pkt. locts.j oz. 20
