THE WATSON OR “TOM WATSON” WATERMELON- IT’S A GOOD ONE 
There are many people that ai^ree with Tom Watson’s political views and many that don’t* However, we never have seen 
anybody that didn’t acknowledge that the Watson or “Tom Watson’’ watermelon was one of the best melons they ever 6rew. We 
have watched this melon for several years and 6rew about lOO acres of it in seed crop last year. It’s an alhrij^ht melon in every 
respect. It has the best of eating qualities and it stxinds shipment as well as the best of shipping melons such as Kden, Triumph. 
Kolb Gem and others. If you 6row the Watson melon you have something that sells on sit^ht in Southern mxirkets at a 6ood price; 
it stands shipment North perfectly and if you have to eat it at home you won’t find it inferior to Florida Favorite, Kleckley or 
Alabama Sweet. The W^atson is an all rit^ht combination melon, 6<>od xit all times xind for all purposes. Packet, lO cents; ounce, 
1 .■> cents; ^ pound, 40 cents; pound, SI.IS.'S; postpxtid. lO pounds or over, not prepxiid. Sl.OO per pound.
