Thurmcnd Gray Watermelon 



THUBMOND GBA7 W A T E It- 



IflXiliON — Thurmond Gray is similar 

 to Irish Gray, except with larger 

 melons, 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. 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. 



IBISH GBAY -WATEBMEIiON— 



This new Sou-.h 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 that respect 



TOM WATSON 



It's sweet; the flesh is red, crisp and free from stringiness and the color of rind a mottled light gray-green, entirely dis- 

 tinct. Rind is thin, but very tough. Long-distance shipments go through perfectly. Plant Irisli Gray for home or market 

 use and you will be delighted. 



EXCEZi — 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 

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

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



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. The meat is red and very sweet. Free from hard 

 centers. Very large and prolific. Seed large white, with black 

 rings on the tips. Has a small seed cavity and will mature 

 in 95 days. 



RATTLESNAKE WATERMELON 



Large, oblong, striped and mottled; flesh bright red; a good

 qualities. Melons are produced from 18 to 24 inches long and
