S T O _ E S SEEDS 



WATERMELON 



No. 52. Stone Mountain 



Edible qualities and distinctly superior to any other shipping variety 



Days to maturity, 90. Introduced recently by H. G. Hastings & Co. who state "with full regard 

 for all other melons, this is the greatest Watermelon in existence." The name Dixie Belle has errone- 

 ously been given to Stone Mountain. It undoubtedly is the outstanding introduction in the last 

 few years. Melons weighing over 50 pounds have been produced on good land. In shape, Stone 

 Mountain is almost round. The outside color is a rich dark green, it has a medium thick rind, and 

 the flesh is a rich scarlet. It is now being shipped long distances, although the originator did not 

 claim this quality for it. We believe; however, it must not be piled too high in the cars. Stone Moun- 

 tain does not carry more than half the seed found in other similar varieties, and the seeds are white. 

 It is a prolific bearer and stands up under very trying conditions. Stone Mountain is offered as our 

 No. 1 choice for 1934. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; y 4 \b. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 5 lbs. or over, 90 cts. per lb. 



No. 53. Improved Kleckley Sweet 



This is also sold under the name Wonder Melon 



Days to maturity, 85. The fruits of this melon are distinctly larger than the original Kleckley, 

 a melon introduced by Trumbell & Beebee in San Francisco in 1898. Monte Cristo is synonymous 

 with Kleckley Sweet. Improved Kleckley Sweet is not suitable for long-distance shipment, although 

 the rinds are much tougher and stronger than the original Kleckley. The seeds are slightly larger and 

 are snow-white. For fts size and shape we consider it to be a melon of very high quality. The flavor 

 is extremely fine. It is regular in shape and the melons will average from 30 to 50 pounds, perhaps 

 10 pounds heavier than the original Kleckley. Color of the flesh is a rich bright scarlet which is 

 sure to find an enthusiastic welcome from the consuming public. You will find our Improved Kleckley 

 Sweet a very superior article. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 1,41b. 30 cts.; lb. $1 ; 5 lbs. or over, 90 cts. per lb. 



No. 54. Tom Watson 



The most widely grown shipping Watermelon 



Days to maturity, 90. This melon, originating in Georgia, and named for the Honorable Tom 

 Watson, has enjoyed a quarter century of distinguished success as the outstanding \\ atermelon for 

 shipment in the United States. In appearance it is similar to Improved Kleckley Sweet, it being an 

 extra-long melon averaging from 18 to 24 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter. The average 

 shipping weight ranges from 40 to 50 pounds. Its heavy, elastic, dark green rind withstands shipment 

 to distant markets. The flesh is not so tender and of such high quality as Stone Mountain or Kleckley 

 Sweet, and the variety is not recommended for home consumption. The flesh is a bright red. Seeds 

 are brown tipped with white. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V 4 lb. 25 cts.; lb 75 cts.; 5 lbs. or over, 70 cts. per lb.
