Watermelons 
(Melone d’aqua, Sandia, Wasser Melone) 
CULTURE—The same as for Muskmelons, except that 
they should be planted from 8 to 10 feet apart. One 
ounce for 30 hills and 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
COLE’S EARLY —One of the earliest and best of the early 
sorts; hardy medium size, nearly round; rind dark 
green, striped a lighter shade; flesh deep pink and 
excellent in quality; seeds black. 
PHINNEY’S EARLY —Ripens with Peerless; medium in 
size and oblong in form; color very distinct, the rind 
being mottled with various shades of green so as to 
present an almost scaly appearance; quality good; 
seeds light brown. 
FORDHOOK EARLY —An extra early variety of fine 
quality and fair size; form round to oblong; skin 
dark green mottled with a darker shade; flesh bright 
red; seeds white. 
HALBERT HONEY —A very sweet, long, dark green 
variety. Fruits average 18 to 2 0 inches long, have a 
thin rind and deep red meat of delicious flavor; pulp 
entirely free from stringiness; seeds white. One of 
the finest for the home-garden. 
HUNGARIAN HONEY —A superb early variety; uniformly 
globe-shaped; color dark green, mottled and veined 
with a darker shade; flesh brilliant red, ripening 
clear to the rind and of the highest quality; seeds 
brown and very small. 
ROCKY FORD —Fruit is of large size, oblong in shape, 
averaging 18 to 2 0 inches in length and 10 to 12 
inches in diameter. The appearance is handsome, the 
llesh is a bright scarlet, with flavor which is superbly 
delicious. Unfortunately the skin is too tender to 
admit of shipping to any great distance. Very similar 
to Kleckley’s. 
PEERLESS OR ICE CREAM —Very early, of medium size 
and one of the best for growing in the North; short 
oblong in form; rind thin, light green, mottled and 
finely veined with a darker shade; flesh bright scarlet 
and very sweet; seeds white. 
TOM WATSON —Probably the best shipping melon and 
one of the best main crop sorts; grows to a very large 
size. Fruit large and long in shape, colored a medium 
green with a light tracing of a darker shade, flesh 
rich red and of good quality; seeds brown. 
Tom Watson Watermelon 
Kleckley’s Sweet 
KLECKLEY’S SWEET OR MONTE CRISTO —Medium to 
large in size, medium early and exceedingly sweet; 
oblong in form, slightly tapering towards the stem 
end; rind very dark green; flesh very bright, rich red 
and ripens nearly to the rind; too tender for a ship¬ 
ping melon; seeds white to light brown. 
WONDERMELON (Imp. Kleckley’s Sweets) —A large ob¬ 
long melon with a thin dark rind and showing faint 
tracings or indentations running the length of the 
melon. Resembles Kleckley’s but with no tendency to¬ 
ward pear-shape. Also known as White Seeded Kleckley. 
ANGELINO —The quality or this melon is equalled by 
few varieties. It is desirable for shipping. The fruits 
are medium sized, nearly round or slightly oblong. 
The skin is very deep green, indistinctly mottled and 
striped with a lighter shade. The flesh is decidely 
bright vermillion-red, remarkably fine grained but 
firm and very sweet. Seed black. 
SUGAR STICK —One of the best of the long melons. It 
has a light green colored rind, black seed and with an 
average weight of 2 5 pounds. The rind is tough while 
the flesh is most delicious. 
IRISH GRAY —A large, long, main crop variety with a 
distinctive, gray-green skin; shell very tough and 
hard, making a fine shipper; llesh very firm, crisp 
and sweet, seeds brown. 
EXCEL —Largest of the shipping melons; midseason; 
fruit long, dark green in color with an irregular faint 
striping and covered with a fine veining of a darker 
shade; flesh red and crisp; rind hard and tough; 
seeds gray-brown, but variable as to color. 
KLONDIKE —A popular melon on the Pacific coast, hav¬ 
ing a dark green, thin, tough rind and attractive bright 
red flesh; seeds small, black. A good shipping sort. 
STONE MOUNTAIN —A very large, nearly round or 
“blocky” melon of high quality. Rind fairly tough, 
dark green; flesh sweet, rich scarlet, with few seeds; 
very prolific; seeds white. 
KING AND QUEEN—(Winter Watermelon) —A Russian 
variety of rair size, round in shape; rind light cream 
with faint, irregular light green striping; early, pro¬ 
lific and excellent in quality. A good keeping and 
shipping variety; seeds small, black. Average weight, 
10 pounds. 
PRESERVING CITRON (Red-Seeded) —Most desirable for 
preserves. Flesh solid and white.
