THE ^^WATSON” OR <<TOM WATSON” WATERMELON 
(From Photograph of Seed Crop Melons) 
Tom Watson is a widely known man in the South. Thousands upon thousands swear by his political views and thousands upon 
thousands of others swear at them; however, we have never seen anybody who has ever grown or eaten the Watson, or Tom Watson 
watermelon that was not fully satisfied with it and said it was one of the best melons that ever grew. We have watched this melon very 
closely for several years and grew about 150 acres of it in seed crop last year. We find it an all right melon in every respect. It has the 
best of eating qualities and it stands shipment about as well as the best of shipping melons such as £den. Triumph, Kolb Gem and others. 
If you grow the Watson melon you have one that sells on sight in Southern markets at good prices; it stands shipment north perfectly 
and if you have it for home use you won’t find it inferior to Florida Favorite, Kleckley or Alabama Sweet. The W'atson is an all right 
combination melon, good at all times and for all purposes. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; % pound, 35 cents; pound, $1.00; postpaid. 
10-pound lots or over, not prepaid, 75 cents per pound.
