240—BUCHANAN’S IMPROVED CUT RED TOM WATSON WATERMELON (90 Days) 
The Real Red-Meated Tom Watson, the only kind to plant. Not the white-centered, white-hearted, “run out” seed so generally 
sold. (From photograph of average seed crop melons—seeds saved only from selected true-to-type melons.) 
The Watson has rightfully been the most largely planted melon in the South for shipping purposes. It’s a splendid melon 
for shipping, for nearby markets and home use. It is an excellent combination all-purpose melon for you to grow. 
There has been much complaint about the Watson “running out” and this is absolutely true of most of the Tom Watson 
seed on the market. It is seed saved from the tail end of the shipping crop, seed from malformed, rotten-ended runts and 
culls, seeds from white-hearted or centered melons. You can’t afford to plant such seeds. 
In eating quality the Waston is good and its tough, medium thick, elastic rind makes it the finest shipper. Medium 
early, cylindrical shape, averaging 10 by 20 inches. Its dark green color and generally handsome appearance make it a 
seller at top of the market prices.

255—NEW STONE MOUNTAIN (90 days)—One of the finest, sweetest, largest 
and earliest Watermelons. Under favorable conditions, fruits weigh from 60 
to 80 pounds, and ripen in 85 to 90 days. The fruit is almost round or square¬ 
shaped with rich, dark green, medium thick rind, and dazzling scarlet flesh 
of luscious sweetness. It has few seeds, is firm and solid, almost all heart, 
and truly an unsurpassed table delicacy. The rind is sufficiently tough to 
stand considerable handling, making it an excellent shipper. It is very pro¬ 
lific, withstands drouth, and will produce a fine crop of good melons when 
other varieties fail. It is the best round-type Watermelon for the home 
garden or market. Our seed stock has been vastly improved since the 
variety was introduced and represents the genuine true-to-type Stone Moun¬ 
tain Watermelon.

233—BUCHANAN’S IMPROVED KLECKLEY’S SWEET (87 days)—Recently 
introduced, the seed are snow white, with no trace of color and are slightly 
larger than the regular Kleckley Sweet. The melons are cylindrical, very dark 
green with faint creases or ridges running lengthwise. The size is somewhat 
larger than Kleckley Sweet. The edible qualities are splendid and it no 
doubt has a large future. The rind perhaps is harder than Kleckley Sweet, 
making it a shipper for moderate distances. Edible in 87 days. Size, 22 x 10 
inches.
