WATERMELONS 



CULTURE — One ounce of seed to 30 hills; 4 pounds to the acre. Watermelons require a rich, sandy soil for best develop- 

 ment. Cultivate the same as for cantaloupes, except that the hills should be eight or ten feet apart. 



LORD BALTIMORE — It is very early, of ob- 

 long shape, and the flesh is of handsome crim- 

 son color, deliciously sweet. It has a thin, 

 hard rind, beautifully mottled light and dark 

 green. Its perfect shape, faultless color, fine 

 texture and excellent flavor combine to make 

 it one of the very best melons that grow. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE — This we consider one 

 of the richest and sweetest flavored melons 

 grown, of medium size and prolific. It is now 

 very popular with the truckers and melon- 

 growers of Maryland and Virginia, and sells 

 readily in the Baltimore markets. 



RIBAULT WATERMELON — This new melon 

 grows from 24 to 30 inches long, and 14 to 18 

 inches in diameter. The rind is dark green, 

 slightly striped with lighter green. Rind is 

 thick and makes a good shipper. Free from hard 

 centers. Seed large white, with black rings on 

 the tips. Has a small seed cavity and will ma- 

 ture in 95 days. 



LORD BALTIMORE 



STONE MOUNTAIN — A very large nearly round or 

 "blocky" melon of high quality. Rind fairly tough, dark 

 green; flesh sweet, rich scarlet, with few seeds. 



TOM WATSON — A recent introduction. A large oblong 

 melon, dark green skin, with thin, tough rind, which gives it 

 excellent shipping qualities. Melons are produced from IS to 

 24 inches long and from 8 to 12 inches in diameter. Flesh 

 deep red, crisp, melting and of finest flavor. Heart large, 

 with little or no core. One of the best eating melons known. 



EXCEL — In appearance it strongly resembles the Watson, 

 has a very thin, tough rind, is uniformly large. It is an un- 

 usual melon in that, although a grand shipper, it is also one 

 that we can highly recommend for private garden, the beau- 

 tiful red meat being decidedly crisp, sweet and luscious, and 

 solid to the center. 



XLECKLEY'S SWEET — Skin dark green, thin rind, flesh 

 scarlet, very solid, firm and most luscious quality for the 

 home market or family garden. It is decidedly one of the 

 best. 



DARK ICING — An extra early and extra good melon for 



home use and nearby market. One of the most delicious of 

 melons; rich red and sugary to the very rind. 



GRAY MONARCH OR WHITE ICING — This distinct melon 

 is without a doubt one of the largest of all. The skin is a 

 mottled gray color, shape long, flesh bright crimson, and of 

 sweet delicious flavor. 



RATTLESNAKE WATERMELON — Large, oblong, striped 

 and mottled; flesh bright red; a good shipper, a favorite va- 

 riety in the South. 



INDIAN CHIEF WATERMELON — A large oblong dark 

 green melon, with thick netting, the rind is thin but very 

 tough. The flesh is a bright attractive red, and has a crisp 

 delicious flavor. 



GENERAL PERSHING WATERMELON — One of the best 

 yet introduced. Tough rind, making it a good shipper. Red, 

 sweet flesh. Big crop of enormous size. 



THURMOND GRAY WATERMEL- 

 ON — Thurmond Gray is similar to 

 Irish Gray, except with larger mel- 

 ons and brown seed instead of white. 

 The rind is very tough and stands 

 shipping as well as any melon grown. 

 The flesh is free from strings, is fine 

 grained, crisp and tender. Its eating 

 qualities are excellent. 



IRISH 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. 



CITRON — For Preserves. Fruit 

 round and handsome. Used in mak- 

 ing preserves only.
