PERFECTION BRAJND SEEDS 
Perfection Brand Delicious Watermelon 
Granby, Mo. 
Our watermelon seed is grown especially for us in the South and selected from the very best melons. Southern- 
grown watermelon seed is always the best and the quality of the melons the very highest, as has been proven. A 
trial order will convince you our seed is first-class in every respect. 
STONE MOUNTAIN—While this melon is rather new it is fast be¬ 
coming a great favorite in many sections of the South, Middle West and 
Southwest. It grows large; rather round in shape and dark green in 
color. The flesh is a deep red, has but few seeds and the flavor is 
all that could be desired. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 30c; lb. 80c, postpaid. 
PORTO RICAN—A golden fleshed melon, very tender and has a most 
delicious flavor. It is medium early, of large uniform size, oblong shape. 
This has no hard core or stringy sections. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 50c, 
postpaid. 
IRISH GREY—Is a distinct and very valuable melon, producing more 
good merchantable melons under the same conditions than any other 
variety, the eating quality is all that could be desired in a watermelon, 
the sparkling red flesh is very sweet and entirely free from hard center 
or stringiness, yet the flesh is very firm and compact and will not 
break when sliced. The size is uniformly large. Color of rind, yellowish 
grey, and almost as tough as that of the citron, ripens earlier than 
Tom Watson, and will keep in good condition for a long time after 
picking, and stand long distance shipping better than any other melon. 
Another important feature, the melon will not sunburn and will keep 
in good condition for several days in the sun after becoming ripe, while 
all dark melons will blister yellow on the top, which renders them un¬ 
salable. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 30c; lb. 75c, postpaid. 
THURMOND GRAY—It is a good producer, stands wet weather well, 
and so far has not been subject to the diseases that have damaged 
other melons. This new melon is long and thick. The rind is of a 
rich greenish-grey color, which makes it difficult to sunburn. It is 
wilt resistant. It is very uniform in growth, being the same size at 
each end, and makes the most perfect car pack of any of the shipping 
varieties. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 30c; lb. 85c, postpaid. 
CHILIAN—This melon quickly became popular in California where it 
originated, and gains favor wherever grown. The flesh is crisp, fine 
grained, very sweet, and of an attractive red color. Melons are medium 
small, round, skin deep green faintly mottled and striped with lighter 
shade. Medium early. Thin rind. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c, postpaid. 
IMPROVED KLECKLEY’S SWEET—One of the earliest, best and 
sweetest flavored melons in cultivation. On account of its thin rind, 
it will not stand shipment to distant markets, but it is the best that 
can be grown for the home and near-by markets. The skin is dark 
green. The flesh is scarlet, firm, solid and of delightful flavor. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $7.00, postpaid. 
HALBERT’S HONEY—A Texas melon which closely resembles Kleck- 
ley’s Sweet, but darker color and even and regular in shape. Cannot 
be shipped a great distance, as the rind is very brittle, but it is unsur¬ 
passed for home market and family use. It grows from 16 to 30 inches 
long, is dark green, slightly ridged, and blunt at the blossom end. The 
meat is as sweet as honey, melting, and leaves no trace of pulp. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
TOM WATSON—The most popular shipping melon grown. The melons 
are large, long and dark green, like Kleckley’s Sweet, but with a tougher 
rind, giving it excellent shipping qualities. The flesh is a rich red, 
solid, sweet, and luscious, and ripens up close to the rind. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 25c; lb., 75c; 10-lb. lots, $6.00, postpaid. 
NEW WONDER—It is all its name implies. Is well adapted to South¬ 
ern conditions and for a shipping melon it can’t be beat. The rind 
is tough and will withstand rough handling in transit, besides being a 
heavy cropper. It is a large, long, dark green melon, faint stripes, 
making a quick seller on the market. Flesh red, very crisp, solid and 
early. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; *4 lb., 25c; lb., 80c, postpaid. 
ARNELL WATERMELON—Originated by Mr. Arnell of Tulsa County. 
The rind is mottled greenish gray, flesh red and of excellent quality. The 
rind is tough, mak¬ 
ing an excellent ship¬ 
ping melon, is produc¬ 
tive and uniformly 
oblong in shape. Price, 
15c per oz.; >4 lb. 
40c; % lb. 75c; lb. 
$1.25, postpaid.

Gentlemen: 
Your New Wonder melons are truly won¬ 
ders. The first of July, after a light shower, 
we planted some New Wonders on a high 
rocky hill. Regardless of the fact that they 
had no rain, they came up, grew luxuriantly 
and bore a large crop of melons of good size 
and excellent flavor. 
Sincerely, 
MRS. WINIFRED NORRIS.
