Halbert Honey Water Melon 



This fine new variety originated with Mr. H. A. Halbert, of Texas, who grows 30 acres every 

 year for his home trade and he challenges the world to produce its equal in beauty, quality, produc- 

 tiveness, and market demand on the part of lovers of melons. It fully equals the Kleckley in sweet 

 flavor and has fruits more even and regular in outline, with a darker, richer colored skin, making it 

 more attractive in appearance. The vine is a strong, vigorous grower and sets fruits very freely. 



The flesh is a beautiful crimson, the seed is white and comparatively small. It is essentially a home 

 melon for the nearby market, as the skin is too brittle to ship long distances. 



In quality it is simply delicious, sugary, and of a rich fruity flavor peculiar to itself, devoid of 

 all stringiness, the sweet flesh melts away in the mouth like honey. We invite everyone to give it 

 a trial. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts.. oz. 15 cts., % lb. 30 cts., 1 lb. 75 cits. 



I have had good success with your seeds and have planted them for many years. Always of 

 rtrong vitality and true to name. — Nelson Hanks, Edgar County, Illinois. 



NEW WATER 



TOM WATSON 



This new variety has been on the market only a short time and has become one of the most 

 popular sorts for shipping and market. 



The luscious crimson flesh is as sweet as honey, melting and of superb flavor. The average melon 

 is 18 to 24 inches long by 10 to 12 inches thick, weighing from 30 to 40 lbs. The dark green rind 

 is tough but thin and easily withstands shipment to far distant markets. It is very prolific, producing 

 in greatest abundance the large delicious fruits. We believe the Tom Watson is one of the very best 

 melons sent out lately. Sure to take a leading place with melon growers.
