Thurmond Gray WafsrnteSon 



THUEMOND GEAY W A T E B- 

 MEIiON' — TluirmoiKl Gray is similar 

 to Irish Gray, except with larger 

 melons, and brown seed instead of 

 white. The ring is very tough and 

 stands shipping as well as any melon 

 grown. Tl.e flesh is free from strings, 

 is fine grained, crisp and tender. Its 

 eating qualities are excellent. Mar- 

 kets prefer the Thurmond to Irish 

 Gray and will pay a premium for 

 them, although there seems to be no 

 difference in eating or shipping qual- 

 ities. 



lEISE GRAY WATERMELON — 



This new South Georgia variety is 

 one that has attained great popular- 

 ity on its merit. It's a combination 

 melon, equally good for shipping or 

 home use, being equal to or better 

 than the Watson in tliat respect, 

 mottled light gray-green, entirely dis- 

 Plant Irish Gray for home or market 



It's sweet; the flesh is red, crisp and free from stringiness and the color of rind a 

 tinct. Rind is thin, but verv tough. Long-distance sliipmentJ go through perfectly, 

 use and you will be delighted. 



EKCEI. — Many growers claim that for shipping it is even better than Tom Watson. In appearance it strongly resem- 

 bles the Watson, has a very thin, tough rind, is uniformly large, averaging from 40 to 60 pounds On the table it is as 

 attractive as any melon can be, and its quality is fully equal to its attractiveness. It is an unusual' melon in that although 

 «, grand shipper, it is also one that we can highly recommend for private garden, the beautiful red meat being decidedly crisp, 

 Bweet and luscious, and solid to the center. Seeds are both black and white.
