HALBERT HONEY 
This melon is described by the 
Introducers as follows: Equal- 
ing in flavor and as handsome 
in color as the Kleckley Sweets, 
but more regular in form, and 
much more productive. Growing 
as long as the Kleckley Sweets, 
the melons are blunt both at 
stem and blossom end, general- 
ly free from any appearance of 
neck. They average 18 to 20 
inches in length; 6 to 8 inches in 
diameter. Color of rind a clear, 
glossy deep green. The flesh is 
a beautiful crimson, extending 
to within less than half an inch 
of the rind, which like the flesh 
is so tender it will not stand 
shipping any distance unless 
carefuly handled. It is essential- 
ly the home melon for the home 
garden and for local markets. 
We offer direct headquarters 
seed that cannot be surpassed. 
Packet, 4 cents; ounce, 8 cents; 
% pound, 20 cents; Yi pound, 35 
cents; pound, 65 cents. 
SWEET HEART 
A large watermelon, nearly globular in shape, but 
a little longer than thick. The skin is a bright, 
beautiful mottled green. The flesh is red, firm, 
crisp, melting and exceedingly sweet. A good keeper and 
excellent shipper, and a good selling melon, being attract- 
ive and of good quality. The quality continues to im- 
prove after ripening. Very popular as a shipping melon, 
particularly in the South. An excellent melon for home 
use. Packet, 3 cents; ounce 6 cents; Yn pound, 14 cents; 
Yz pound, 25 cents; pound, 45 cents. 
PEERLESS, OR ICE CREAM 
White seeded; of unquestionable quality; very early; 
medium size, thin rind, flesh bright scarlet. Rind too thin 
for shipping, but it is the great home market melon, and 
has occupied a high place in all seed lists for many years. 
Few, if any, sorts surpass it in melting, delicious quality. 
Packet, 3 cents; ounce, 6 cents; Yi pound, 15 cents; % 
pound, 28 cents; pound, 50 cents.
