HASTINGS’ SOUTHERN GROWN WATERMELON SEED 
(255) HALBERT HONEY, THE FAMOUS SWEET WATERMELON SO POPULAR THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH 
(255) HALBERT HONEY. This is a sweeter melon than the old Kleekley Sweet and without the strings in the flesh. No stringy 
pulp is left even after the largest bite of "heart.” It is the sweetest of all melons except our new Stone Mountain and its delicious 
crimson-red flesh extends nearly to the skin. It is early, prolific, of good size and with dark green skin. It is a wonderful eating 
melon for home use and nearby markets. Rind is too thin and tender for shipment. Packet, 10c. Oz., 15c. Vi Lb., 40c. Lb., $1.25. 
(252) A GOOD, SWEET. JUICY OLD-TIME AUGUSTA RATTLESNAKE WATERMELON GROWN FROM HASTINGS’ SEED 
(252) HASTINGS’ AUGUSTA RATTLESNAKE. This melon 
made Georgia famous as the finest melon-growing State. See the 
characteristic picture above. Ours is the pure Rattlesnake strain, 
producing large oblong melons often weighing 60 to 75 pounds on 
good watermelon land. It is sweet and meaty, the best second 
early melon to plant. Packet, 10c. Oz., 15c. Vi Lb., 40c. Lb., 
$1.25. 
(257) THURMOND GRAY. A mighty fine melon, originated in 
Georgia and even better than our Irish Gray. Equal to the Watson 
for both home use and shipping. Sweet, red flesh, crisp, free from 
strings, vigorous grower, uniformly shaped, thin but very tough 
rind. Skin color is a light mottled gray-green. Really, this is a 
wonderful watermelon. Packet, 10c. Oz., 15c. Vi Lb., 40c. Lb.,

(260) HASTINGS’ IMPROVED KLECKLEY SWEET. ALSO

flesh, sweet and of excellent quality. For home and nearby market
