Most All of Us Enjoy Watermelons 
NICHOLSON'S Sou thern°Srown WATERMELON SEED (Sand,, 
Our Melon Seed is all Southern grown and superior to Northern grown seed. A light, sandy soil, with good exposure to the sun, is the best 
for Watermelons. It should be prepared deeply, but receive shallow cultivation. Hoe often and thoroughly. Plant 8 to 10 seeds in a hill, and 
finally when danger of insects is past, leave but three strong plants. Plant 4 to 5 pounds per acre in hills. Every farm has room for a Melon 
patch, and the home gardener will also get good returns from a small planting of watermelons. 
293— STONE MOUNTAIN. Undoubtedly one of the very best 
of Melons. It is extra large weighing as much as 75 to 80 pounds 
if carefully cultivated; is round or nearly round in shape, with a 
beautiful dark green rind ; the flesh is an attractive scarlet color, 
and as delicious as any you ever tasted. We know that Stone 
Mountain is sure to satisfy as a home garden variety, and, with 
careful packing in straw, can be easily shipped or hauled to market, 
and when once on the market will outsell any other variety. Extra 
select seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50,
