W atermelon 
New Wondermelon 
T VT y E HAVE tested this melon for several seasons, and we are forced to confess, for a home 
garden and nearby market melon, it beats the Kleckley Sweet, which has always been 
our old standby. It grows larger than the “Kleckley” and has produced melons weigh¬ 
ing 60 pounds. Shape is similar to the Watson. The skin is a dark, glossy-green. The flesh 
is a rich red, solid and stringless, fine-flavored to the rind. It is the best home and nearby 
market melon that we have ever seen. Don’t Fail To Give It A Trial.

The Excel 
A New Watermelon and Very Popular 
Wherever Introduced 
/ T IS a large oblong melon, dark-green in color, with faint stripes. The flesh is of fine 
quality and intense red to the rind. It is a larger melon than the Tom Watson and as 
good a shipper. Where a large melon is required the Excel will fill the bill.

Improved Cut-Red Tom 
"Watson Watermelon 
(The Best Known Shipping Melon Introduced to Date ) 
7 ’’OR several years past there has been a demand for a better grade of seed of the Tom 
Watson. The general complaint was about the hard white cores or centers so prevalent 
in the original strain. After thorough investigation we found a strain of the Tom Watson 
grown in northern Texas “that Cut Red” and was giving general satisfaction. 
We obtained a supply of stock seed from the leading grower there which produced the 
finest crop we ever grew. The melons ran large, w r ere very uniform in size and shape and best 
of all, they Cut Red without the hard white centers. 
The seed we offer this season was saved from select melons weighing from 25 to 50 pounds 
each. The fact that we sell large quantities of this seed to Florida growers should convince 
the most critical buyers of its superior qualities (as it is claimed that Florida produces 90% 
of the watermelon seed grown in the United States). You can’t go wrong in planting this 
strain.
