Tom Watson 

 Watermelon 



In the Tom Watson 

 we have a decidedly good 

 thing directly from the 

 State of Georgia, the 

 "Home of the Water- 

 m e 1 n," where the 

 Watermelon grows to a 

 greater state of perfec- 

 tion probably than in al- 

 most any other part of 

 the United States. 



The Tom Watson is an extra long melon of attractive appearance, uniform in shape and quality; the luscious crim- 

 son flesh is "as sweet as honey," melting and of superb flavor. The average melon will weigh 35 to 40 pounds and 

 measure 28 inches long and about 12 inches in diameter. Very prolific. Packets, 5 and 10c. ; % lb., 15c. ; Vj lb., 25c. ; lb., 50c. 

 TRIUMPH AVATERMELON.— It is a cross between Duke Jones and Kolb's Gem. It has the handsome appear- 

 ance and dark' green color of the former and the shipping qualities of the Gem; medium season, very prolific, de- 

 liciously sweet and of enormous size. Packet, 5c.; ounce, 10c. ; M lb., 



KLECKLEY'S SWEET WATERMELON.— The finest 

 melon yet introduced for home growing and table use. 

 Vines are strong, vigorous, and the fruits grow to large 

 size, 18 to 20 inches long and 12 inches in diameter. Skin 

 is a rich, dark green; flesh bright scarlet, ripening close 

 to the rind, which is but half an inch thick, so that ship- 

 ping it long distances is not practicable. Crisp, sugary, 

 melting and entirely free from stringiness. Packet, 5c.;

BLUE GEM WATERMELON (Iceherg).— Grown verv 

 extensively in the South for Northern markets, and is to-
