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 remarkable degree. The seed I offer has all been saved 

 from the largest selected melons and should produce splendid results. Pkt. lo cts., oz. 25 cts., Klb. 65 cts., lb. $2.50 ; 

 by express, 5 lbs. |io. 



T. A. LiTTLETOX, Shawnee, Okla., writes October 13, 190S : " All of the seed that I purchased from you last spring did ex- 

 ceedingly well, especially the Hard Shell Kleckley Sweets Watermelons, they were the finest and best, and best sellers that I 

 ever raised. I got premiums at the Farmers' Institute this year on the display of garden and field products, which was $25 in 

 gold. I will send in my order later for more seed." 



New "Angel's Kiss" Watermelon 



' ' Ma\) the man be forgiven who gave it that name 



This fine Watermelon originated in Texas, and it is a superb melon in every sense of the word except its name. It 

 is entirely distinctive, being a handsome melon, of large, oblcng shape, which is well shown in the illustration herewith. 



The flesh is bright red in color, very solid and firm, and of melting sugary sweetness. The vine is a remarkably 

 strong, vigorous grower, bearing great numbers of large, mottled, silver-gray melons, with a very tough, but thin skin. 



The melons average 

 25 to 30 inches in 

 length, with a weight 

 of from 30 to 40 pounds 

 each. They are very 

 attractive either in the 

 field, on the market 

 stall or on the table. 

 They will be a rapid 

 seller and a good ship- 

 per, and a melon that 

 will be called for again 

 when once sampled. 

 The seed is pure white, 

 with a light gray mot- 

 tled skin. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 25c., 65c., lb. 

 I2.50, postpaid ; by 



New Angel's Kiss Watermelon ( Rememtjer i did not give it that name) express, 5 lbs. $10.
