Dwarf Green Prolific Okra, or Gumbo. This vegetable is too little grown, as its 

 pods impart a fine flavor and consistency to soups and stews, besides being very palatable 

 ed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily dried for winter.

Tom Watson 

 Watermelon 



In the Tom Wat- 

 son we have a de- 

 cidedly good thing 

 directly from the 

 State of Georgia, 

 the "Home of the 

 Watermelon,'' 

 where the Water- 

 melon grows to a 

 greater state of per- 

 fection probably 

 than in almost any 

 other part of the 

 United States. 



The Tom Watson 

 is an extra long 

 melon of attractive 

 appearance, uni- 

 form in shape and 

 quality; the lus- 

 cious crimson flesh 

 is "as sweet as 

 honey, "melting and 

 of superb flavor. 

 The average melon 



E . 35 to 40 pounds and measure 28 inches long and about 12 inches in diameter. Very prolific. Pkts., 5 and 

 10c: 34 lb., 15c: Y 2 lb., 25c: lb., 50c

 dark green color of the former and the shipping qualities of the Gem; medium season, very prolific, deliriously sweet and 

 of enormous size. Pkt.. 5c; ounce, 10c; 34 lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 



K l.-« kley's ■ weet Watermelon. The finest melon yet introduced for home growing and table use. Vines are strong, 

 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 shipping it long dista-ces is not prac- 

 ticable. Crisp, sugary, melting and entirely free from stringiness. Pkt., 5c: ounce, 10c; 34 lb., 15c; lb., 50c 



Blue Gem Watermelon. Grown very extensively in the South for Northern markets, and is today the favorite 

 :th the watermelon-growers of New Jersey, who supply the Philadelphia and New York markets; it keeps well 

 and seldom cracks or splits in transit. Its flesh is a beautiful shade of dark red. Melons very uniform in size and shape.
