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 

 W a ter melon," 

 where the Water- 

 melon grows to a 

 greater state of 

 perfection probably 

 than in almost any 

 other part of the 

 United States. 



The Tom Watson 

 is an extra long 

 melon of attractive 

 appearance, uniform 

 in shape and qual- 

 ity; the luscious 

 crimson flesh is "as 

 sweet as honey," 

 melting and of su- 

 perb flavor. The 



Blue Gem Triumph average melon will 



weigh 35 to 40 pounds and measure 28 inches long and about 12 inches in diameter. Very prolific. Pkts., 5 and 10c; % 

 lb., 20c. ; y 2 lb., 30c. ; lb., 60c. 



TRIUMPH WATERMELON. It is a cross between Duke Jones and Kolb's Gem. It has the handsome appearance 

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

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



KLECKLEY'S SWEET WATERMELON. The finest melon yet introduced for home growing and table use. Vines 

 are strong, vigorous, 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 distances is not 

 practicable. Crisp, sugary, melting and entirely free from stringiness. Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; % lb., 15c; lb., 50c 



BLUE OEM WATERMELON. Grown very extensively in the South for Northern markets, and is today the favorite 

 variety with 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. 

 Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; % lb., 15c; lb., 40c 



HALBERT HONEY. A very sweet, long, dark green variety. Fruits average 18 to 20 inches long, have a thin rind

 % lb., 20c; lb., 50c

Okra or Gumbo GREEN OK.RA Ten P ounds to tne acre 



CULTURE. This vegetable is extensively grown for its green pods, which are used in 

 r.oups, stews, etc., to which they impart a rich flavor, and are considered nutritious. Sow 

 the seed thickly in rich ground about the middle of May, or when the ground has become 

 warm, in drills 3 feet apart, 1 inch deep ; thin to 10 inches apart in drillt. 



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 when stewed and served as a dish of asparagus. The pods can be easily 

 dried for winter. It is universally used through the South and is as easily raised as a weed 

 in the North. So delicious is the flavor that when once used it will be grown every year in 

 northern as in southern gardens. Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; % lb., 15c; % lb., 25c; lb., 50c 



IMPROVED LONG GREEN. A very desirable sort for market gardeners; of medium 

 height; very productive, bears long pods, which remain tender a long time and are free 

 from hard ridges. Pkt., 5c; ounce, 10c; % lb., 15c; Y2 lb., 25c; lb., 50c
