If you have space enough, 

 put in some water melons. 

 Stone Mountain is an 

 excellent home g^i'ci^'i 

 variety. 



WATER MELON 



The requirements for raising water melons are practically the same as for muskmelons except that the vines are more spreading 

 and require considerably more room. If the hills are liberally manured and cultivation is careful and thorough, any home gardener 

 can have these delicious fruits fresh from his own patch. 



CITRON, Red Seeded For preserves and candied fruit. The 

 stock we offer produces an abundance of round green fruits 

 distinctly marked with irregular stripes. The flesh is white, 

 very firm, and solid. Citron is not good to eat uncooked. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



DIXIE QUEEN Much used in the South for shipping, and 

 also good for home gardens because of the excellent quality. 

 Fruits nearly round, light green striped with darker green, 

 often weigh 40 to 50 pounds; rind thin, but tough. The 

 deep red flesh is crisp and sweet. The few seeds are white. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 



FERRY'S PEERLESS Highest quality very early melon. 



Fruits of medium size, roundish to oval; bright green, 



faintly veined; rind firm, brittle; flesh bright scarlet, of 



splendid qualitv; seeds white. Sometimes sold as Ice Cream. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 'b. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE A large midseason melon of long-oval 

 shape. Under Northern conditions the mature fruits 

 weigh 25 pounds and ripen in about 95 days. They become 

 larger in the warmer sections and are popular on accoimt 

 of the sugary sweetness of the crisp luscious flesh. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



HARRIS' EARLIEST By far the earliest and one of the most 

 attractive water melons. The fruits are oval but blocky. 

 They ripen in 80 days and are large for so early a melon. 

 Home gardeners in the North will find this particularly 

 satisfactory. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



IRISH GREY Main crop. Especially valuable for distant ship- 

 ping. Fruits large; oblong; uniform light grayish-green; 

 rind extremely hard and tough; flesh bright red; of good 

 quality. Seeds white. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



KLECKLEY'S SWEETS or MONTE CRISTO Distinctly a 

 home garden melon as the dark bluish-green rind is so crisp 

 that it breaks easily. The long, oval fruits are slightly 

 larger near the blossom end. They weigh from 25 to 35 

 pounds and ripen in 105 days. We know of none better in 

 quahty of flesh. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; V4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



KLONDIKE, Brown Seeded This is the outstanding variety 

 for shipping and home garden use in California. Popular 

 because of its delicious flavor and attractive interior color. 

 Flesh bright red and very sweet. Fruits oblong and of 

 uniform green color. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 



KLONDIKE, Black Seeded Similar in all respects to Klon- 

 dike, Brown Seeded, except in color of seed. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 



KLONDI KE, Striped A new selection. It is the same size and 

 has much the same qualities as Klondike, Brown Seeded. 

 Fruits striped dark and hght green, resembling the well- 

 known Georgia Rattlesnake, but it should not be confused 

 with that variety. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 



ROUND LIGHT ICING Medium early. Fruits light green 

 faintly veined with darker green; rind brittle; flesh bright 

 light red; crisp and sweet; seeds white. Fruits roimdish and 

 a trifle smaller, but otherwise very similar to Long Light 

 Icing. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
