Seed grown from the original stock, which we have kept pure, and not the "run-out” seed now generally sold. 
(From Photograph of Average Size Seed Crop Melons) 
Tom Watson is a widely known man in the South, It is telling no secret that there is a decided difference of opinion among people - 
about Tom Watson. Thousands upon thousands swear by Watson and anything and everything he says. Other thousands upon thou- 
sands swear at him and everything he says and does. Regardless of which side of the Watson fence you are on there is and can be no '• 
difference of opinion as to the quality and value of a rightly grown "Watson” melon. We have never seen anybody who has grown or '' 
eaten the “Watson” or “Tom Watson” melon that was not ready to dclare it one of the best melons ever grown. The Watson is that rare ;’ 
combination, a melon that will ship perfectly and at the same time has perfectly good eating quality. It’s an all right melon in every re- 1 
spect for any and every use. It sells on sight equally well in both Northern and Southern markets. If for home use you won’t find it ’ 
inferior to Florida Favorite, Kleckley or Alabama Sweet. It's good at all times and for all purposes. We grew in 1917 some 250 acres “ 
of Watson exclusively for seed purposes and have never had a finer lot of seed than our present supply. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 “ 
cents; % pound, 35 cents; pound, $1.10; postpaid. Ten pound lots or over, not prepaid, 85 cents per pound.

bination melon for shipping, market or home use. In general appearance much like Florida Favorite, but averages much larger and has 
slightly darker markings. Sells on sight in either Southern or Northern markets. Early, bright scarlet flesh, fine grain, solid, sweet and 
free from stringiness. Packet, 5c; ounce, lOc; % pound, 30c; pound, $1.00; postpaid. 10-pound lots or over, not prepaid, 15c per pound.
