Tom Watson Watermelon. 
Tom Watson. Though this variety matures early, it is the 
largest melon, 18 to 20 inches long and 10 to 12 inches thick 
and has a record of weighing from 40 to 50 pounds. A tough 
rind, making a good shipper. Its quality is as good as any 
melon grown. There is no mistake in "Tom Watson.”
