TOM WATSON 
TOM WATSON. In the last few years this melon has become immensely popular. The average 
size fruit of this variety reaches the size of 24 to 28 inohes long and 12 to 14 inches in diameter. It has a 
dark mottled green rind, thin, but tough enough to stand shipping long distances. For the home or for 
the market garden or for shipping it is a money-maker for the growers. The seed we offer is of the very 
best strain Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; K-lb. 35c; lib. $1.00 
HALBEKT HONEY. Originally grown in Texas, it comes to us from the East, where owing to its 
superb qualities, it has won a reputation in an incredibly short time. The melons are oblong of form, 
symmetrically rounded at both ends. The skin is smooth, of dark green color, thin and rather brittle; on 
this account the melons do not stand shipping well. They are, however, the best melons for home use and 
nearby markets. The flesh is of a beautiful crimson oolor, of luscious flavor and entirely free from 
strings. Try Halbert Honey this year Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Ji-lb. 35c; lb. $1.00 
ICING OB ICE RIND. Solid, always of good 
flavor, rind very thin. Unequaled in good qualities

skined and dark skinned, but the light may be a few 
days earlier. In ordering please state which you 
prefer Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; M-lb. 30c; lb. 80c

DIXIE. This new and desirable variety of 
Southern origin is a cross between Kolb's Gem and 
the Mountain Sweet, having the tough rind and the 
long keeping qualities of the former, combined with 
the great productiveness, high flavor and freedom 
from stringiness of the latter. Oolor of the skin 
dark green, striped with a lighter shade, making it 
very attractive; rind thin, but tough; flesh bright 
scarlet, ripens closely to the rind.
