Is claimed to be the best Watermelon in existence. It orig¬ 
inated in Georgia and was named after the Great Stone 
Mountain in that state. The melons are very large, almost 
round, rich green. The flesh is bright scarlet, extremely 
sweet and of finest quality, solid through, almost all heart 
and but very few seeds. When eaten once, it is not for¬ 
gotten—the finest and sweetest flavor of them all. On the 
southern markets it outsells all other melons and at much 
higher prices. We offer Michigan grown seed, best for the 
states north of the Mason-Dixon line. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
44 lb., 40c; lb., $1.20, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $5.00.
