Harris' Earliest is a splendid water melon For home gardeners 

 in the northern states to grow. 





WATER MELON 



The requirements for raising water 

 melons are practically the same as for 

 mui.kmelons except that the vines are more 

 spreading and require considerably more room. 

 If the hills are UberaUy manured and cultiva- 

 tion is careful and thorough, any home gardener can have these deUcious 

 fruits fresh from his own patch. 



CITRON, Red Seeded For preserves and candied fruit. Round green 

 fruits distinctly marked with, irregular stripes. Flesh white, very 

 firm, and solid. Not good to eat uncooked. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



DIXIE QUEEN Much used in the South for shipping, and also good 

 for home gardens because of the excellent quality. Fruits nearly 

 round, light green striped with darker green, often weigh 40 to 50 

 pounds; rind thin, but tough. The deep red flesh is crisp and sweet. 

 The few seeds are white. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 



FERRY'S PEERLESS Highest quality very early melon. Fruits of 

 medium size, roundish to oval; bright green, faintly veined; rind 

 firm, brittle; flesh bright scarlet, of splendid quality; seeds white. 

 Sometimes sold as Ice Cream. 



FLORIDA FAVORITE A large midseason melon of long-oval shape. Under 

 Northern conditions the mature fruits weigh 25 pounds and ripen in about 

 95 days. They become larger in the warmer sections and are popular on 

 account of the sugarv sweetness of the crisp luscious flesh. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



HARRIS' EARLIEST By far the earliest and one of the most attractive 

 water melons. The fruits are oval but blocky. They ripen in 80 days 

 and are large for so early a melon. Home gardeners in the North wiU find 

 this particularly satisfactory. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 



IRISH GREY Especially valuable for distant shipping. Fruits large; oblong; 

 uniform light grayish-green; rind extremely hard and tough; flesh bright 

 red; of good quality. Seeds white.

KLECKLEY'S SWEETS or MONTE CRISTO Distinctly a home garden 



melon as the dark bluish-green rind is so crisp that it breaks easily. The 



long, oval fruits are shghtly larger near the blossom end. They weigh from 



25 to 35 pounds and ripen in 105 days. We know of none better in quality. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.

i five interior color. Flesh bright red and very sweet. Fruits oblong and of 

 uniform green color.

KLONDIKE, Striped The same size and has much the same qualities 

 as Ivlondike, Brown Seeded. Fruits striped dark and Ught green, 

 resembling the well-known Georgia Rattlesnake, but it should not 

 be confused with that variety. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.00. 

 STONE MOUNTAIN This variety combines extra large size with 

 earliness. It is nearly round in shape, pleasingly green in color, 

 and unexcelled for sweetness and juiciness. Fruits, weigh 60 to 80 

 pounds in the South, and the 95 days required for maturity make 

 it easily possible to grow correspondingly large fniits in the North. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50. 

 SWEET HEART Fruits very large; round to shghtly oblong, with 

 blocky ends; light green with fine, darker veining; rind hard and 

 tough; flesh bright red, crisp, and sweet; seeds black. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 

 TOM WATSON This long smooth melon is especially favored in the 

 South. The rich green skin is faintly webbed with a veining of 

 deeper green, and the thin rind is tough and rubbery. Vines hardy, 

 vigorous, and productive; flesh distinctly crisp and juicy. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 

 WONDER Comparatively new. Useful for home garden and nearby 

 markets, but tender rind makes it unsuitable for long distance 

 shipping. Large dark green, oblong fruits, often 22 inches long. 

 Flesh rich red, sweet, and flne textured. Seeds white. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50.
