STOKES SEEDS 



WATERMELON 



WEATHERFORD WATSON 



The highest development of the famous Tom Watson melon 



Days to maturity, 115-130. This famous Weatherford strain, secured directly from 

 the justly famous Weatherford Texas watermelon district, represents the finest breeding 

 work we know of on the Tom Watson strain. The outstanding features of this melon 

 are its brilliant red interior combined with uniformity of size and shape. We consider 

 it to be one of the very finest commercial stocks of shipping watermelon under cultiva- 

 tion. As a carload melon we know of no finer stock than this one. The length will 

 average from 18 to 24 inches, the diameter from 10 to 12 inches. These melons have 

 been known to run up to 50 px)unds in weight. The rind is strong enough to with- 

 stand any long distance handling. To melon growers who are looking for a new start 

 on their seed supply we recommend Weatherford Watson without qualification. We 

 do not offer this variety in Canada. 



STONE MOUNTAIN 



A new variety of superlative quality 



Days to maturit\ , 110. -Stone Mountain is a comparatively 

 new introduction from (leorgia. One of its outstanding features 

 is its superb flavor. As noted in the illustration. Stone Mountain 

 attains a large size, is nearly round, and has a rich deep green 

 rind. The color of the flesh is a brilliant red. The rind is not 

 as thick as our Weatherford Watson, but it is heavy enough to 

 hold up under local shipment. .Stone Mountain is a shy seeder 

 hut is very prolific and is recommended to all melon growers 

 who are interested in the above qualifications. We do not offer 

 this variety in Canada.

KLECKLEY SWEET 



Days to maturity, 120. For high flavor and fine flesh quality, 

 Kleckley Sweet has stood in a class of its own for thirty years. 

 It is a long melon, very much the shape of Weatherford Watson. 

 Its thin rind will not permit long distance shipment, but for 

 local market sale and for roadside stands Kleckley Sweet will 

 prove very desirable. The rind is a deep green. The flesh a 

 bright scarlet. We do not offer this variety in Canada.
