WATERMELONS 
705—BROWN SEEDED KLONDIKE. There are 2 or 3 
strains of this variety and we consider this one of the 
best. For good eating 
quality it can’t be beat, 
there are no two ways a- 
bout it. Beautiful deep red 
flesh. Crisp, tender and 
without a trace of string¬ 
iness- It carries the high¬ 
est sugar content of any 
melon grown. Oblong, 
medium size, dark green 
rind and ships fairly well. 
About the same season as 
KLONDIKE Kleckley Sweet.. Small 
brown seed. 
707—CHILIAN. Not much for size but hard to beat on 
quality. A 15 to 20 pound melon good clean to the rind. 
Medium early, round and striped two shades of green. 
Flesh deep red, crisp, fine flavored and sweet. A fine 
melon for home use. 
704 — KLECKLEY 
SWEET. Probably 
the best known home 
melon in America. 
Popular principally 
because of its qual¬ 
ity. Our strain mid¬ 
season to late and 
will mature a big 
crop of melons for 
you. A deep green, 
medium long to ob¬ 
long and will run up 
to 30 to 40 pounds. 
Flesh bright red, 
very tender and 
sweet. A very thin 
tender rind. 
719 — EXCELL. A 
whooping big melon 
of good quality. Med- KLECKLEY SWEET 
ium long striped two 
shades of green. Late but easily matures a good crop. 
724—FIELD’S JUMBO. Probably the largest melon 
grown. Down in Arkansas in a melon country they some¬ 
times run away over 100 pounds. A very late melon and 
should be started early and grown on good ground to get 
ripe melons. 
713—FORDHOOK EARLY. One of the best early mel¬ 
ons. Fine for home use. While not so large, much better 
than shipped in melons. Dark mottled green. Short 
blocky and thin rind. Matures most of the crop over a 
short period. Flesh tender and most always sweet. 
702—GOLDEN HONEY. We have picked out what we 
consider the very best. Melons chunky, nearly round, 
green mottled. Rind brittle. Flesh amber yellow and 
extra good quality. Occasionally a red fleshed melon. It 
is hard to keep them out. 
712—MOON AND STARS. 
It gets its name from the 
round, bright yellow spots 
scattered over the melon. 
The Moon is an occasional 
large spot an inch across or 
more. Scattered around it 
are the Stars or small yellow 
spots. 
Medium sized with an 
occasional melon running 
up to 40 pounds on good 
ground. Quality fine, being 
tender and sweet. It sells 
MOON and stabs easy because of its unusual 
appearance. The quality will 
bring the customer back for another. Sold in packets only 
as we have but a small amount of seed. 
715—ICE CREAM or PEERLESS. Ready to use just 
ahead of your main crop. Medium size, green and ob¬ 
long. Bright red flesh of very good quality. 
720— PRIDE OF MUSCATINE. If you are troubled with 
melon wilt, you should grow this variety. It is a strain 
of the Kleckley Sweet. A vigorous vine, long dark green 
same shape and size as Kleckley. Red flesh, tender and 
sweet. 
717—PRINCESS. Just the right size to serve each per¬ 
son a whole melon. Small, round and mottled dark green. 
Flesh red and ripens clear to the rind which is very thin. 
Sweet and of the finest qu; 
714 _ STONE MOUN¬ 
TAIN. A great big melon, 
almost round, with a large 
center of sweet tender 
flesh. Cut it open, take 
out the heart and don’t 
bother with seeds. Rich 
red flesh, crisp and sweet. 
The larger melons will 
weigh up to 50 pounds on 
good melon ground. Al¬ 
most round and blunt 
ended. A tough rind and 
a good shipper except it 
doesn’t pile as well in the 
car as a long melon. 
709— TOM WATSON. A 
very large, long melon. 
One of the most popular 
shipping varieties. Flesh red, firm and rind hard. 
721— WONDERMELON. We have discarded Giant 
Kleckley and are listing this one in its place as we con¬ 
sider it better in most every way. A good sized Wonder- 
melon would be between 18 inches and 2 feet long and 
10 or 12 inches thick. For home use as it is too tender 
to ship. Has a thin rind, dark green and slightly ribbed. 
Flesh deep red, juicy and sweet. 
710— BOYS’ WATERMELON COLLECTION. A mixture 
of varieties early and late, little and big. A big package 
of seeds, over an ounce 150.
