I’LANT THE WATSON OR “TOM WATSON” WATERMELON. IT’S A GOOD ONE. (See last page of cover.) 
There are many people that a(|ree with Tom Watson’s political views and many that don’t. However, w^e never have seen 
anybody that didn’t aoknowledi^e that the Watson or ’’Torn Watson” watermelon was one ot the best melons they ever grew. We 
have watched this melon for several years and grew about 12S acres of it in seed crop last year. It’s an all right melon in every 
respect. It has the best ol eating qualities and it stands shipment as well as the best of shipping melons such as £den. Triumph, 
Kolb Gem and others. If you grow the Watson melon you have something that sells on sight in Southern markets at a good price; 
it stands shipment North perfectly and if you have to eat it at home you won’t find It inferior to P'lorida ^Favorite, Klcckley or 
Alabama Sweet. The Watson is an all right combination melon, good at all times and for all purposes. Packet, lO cents; ounce,
