Culture. Require a 

 rich, though sandy soil 

 for perfect development, 

 and thrive best in warm 

 latitudes, such as the 

 Southern or Southwest- 

 ern States, although in a 

 warm sandy soil in a 

 more northern latitude 

 fine crops are often ob- 

 tained. Cultivate and 

 treat exactly as for 

 Musknielons, except that 

 the hills should be eight 

 to ten feet apart. 1 

 ounce seed to 30 hills; 

 3 to 4 pounds for an 

 acre. 



172. Bolgiano's In- 

 dian Chief Water- 

 melon. A large ob- 

 long 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. It is very 

 productive, and is an f qM WATSON 

 excellent shipper. 



171. Bolgiano's Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon. 



The ideal melon for Southern shippers, prolific, uniformly good 

 size, tough rind, flesh red and delicious. 



405. General Pershing Watermelon. A wonderful pro- 

 ducer. No culls. Stands dry weather. Disease resistant. The 

 sparkling red flesh is as sweet as honey. Size uniformly large. 

 Color a light pea green. Will not sunburn. Ripens earlier than 

 Tom Watson. Will keep in good condition for a long time after 

 picking. Wil* stand long-distance shipping better than any 

 other melon. 



406. Irish Gray Watermelon. The size is uniform and 

 large. Color of rind gray. Ripens earlier than Tom Watson 

 and will keep in good condition for a long time after picking. 

 Very prolific and a good shipper. A fine market sort. 



176. Florida Favorite. An oblong melon, with dark green 

 skin faintly striped with lighter green, deep red flesh of excel- 

 lent flavor. One of the best table sorts. Not a good shipper. 

 Ripening 80 days. 



245. Tom Watson Watermelon. A large, oblong melon, 

 dark green rind. Rind is thin but tough. Flesh deep red, tender, 

 firm and sweet. 



17S. Georgia Rattlesnake or Striped Gypsy. Shape 

 oblong, of light green color and beautifully mottled and striped 

 with a light shade ; flesh scarlet, rind thin, very solid, and both 

 sweet and dehcious. 



601. Stone Mountain. A round melon being slightly 

 lobed, like a cantaloupe, very prolific and one of the most de- 

 licious. The rind is too tender for a shipper, but for garden 

 and home market it has no equal. 



602. Thurmond Grey. Oblong in shape, rind very tough 

 making it a very good shipping variety, color light green shad- 

 ing to grey with veins resembling the Watson. Flesh very red 

 and sweet making it a splendid variety for the home gardener. 



603. New Perfection. An improved Halberts Honey 

 having a tougher rind which makes it a better shipper, and en- 

 ables it to stand the sun longer. The flesh is delightfully sweet 



■ and luscious. It is worthy of a trial. 



181. Alabama Sweet. Good size, very uniform, long, dark 

 green skin, red flesh.

217. Peerless or Ice Cream Watermelon. Very early and 

 one of the best; form oval, rind mottled light green, flesh firm 

 and sugary.

 large, the skin is light green in color, the seeds are white, it is 

 rather early, and very productive. 



381. Excel. A long dark green melon, quite attractive in 

 appearance, has very good flavor. This is a rather popular 

 market sort. 



192. Kleckley's Sweet. Color dark green, oblong shape 

 usually about twenty-two inches long. This variety is used 

 mostly in the home garden, because of its tenderness it will 

 not stand shipping well.

 rounded at both ends. Skin dark green. Flesh a beautiful, rich 

 crimson, sweet and luscious, ripens to the rind.
