INVESTORS IN LANDRETHS’ SEEDS REAP LARGE DIVIDENDS 
WATERMELON—Continued 
Irish Gray—90 Days 
Color of seed all creamy white. A new melon 
but badly named. Very popular as a shipper. 
Fruit long, oval, light gray color outside. Flesh 
bright red, free from hard centers. 17 x 10 inches. 
Kleckley Sweet or Monte Cristo—86 Days 
Seed creamy white. One of the most sought after 
melons. No one has a superior stock of this, very 
valuable melon, than the stock we are offering for 
your approval. Fruit oblong, about 20 inches in 
length, rind thin, and always a very dark green, 
early to ripen, flesh scarlet, sugary and crisp. This 
melon, by reason of its thin rind, is not as well 
adapted for shipping as for home consumption, yet 
it is exceedingly tender, of an excellent flavor and 
texture. 22 x 12 inches. See photo, page 79. 
LANDRETHS’ LONG LIGHT ICING—86 Days 
Creamy white, small seeds, a good cropper, heavy 
and attractive, of very desirable quality and flavor. 
Shape long, oval, tapering from blossom end, skin 
light green, flesh scarlet, extremely sugary. Un¬ 
doubtedly one of the best melons on the market 
today. 
Peerless or Ice Cream—86 Days 
Seed white. Not a good shipper, but one of the 
best for home gardens, fruit long, outside rind light 
green, finely netted, flesh very tender. 12 x 10 
inches. 
Round Dark Green Rind Icing—86 Days 
Seeds small and creamy white. The same as the 
Light Green Rind Icing in every respect, except 
color of rind. 14 x 12 inches. 
Round Light Green Rind Icing—86 Days 
Seed creamy white. One of the best melons on the 
market and a great favorite in some sections for its 
excellent quality; always of a good flavor, of a very 
thin rind, consequently not a good shipper. Fruit 
nearly round, greenish-white, marbled or dotted, 
with light green veins. Fine for family gardens. 
Stone Mountain—90 Days 
Gray Seed. One of the largest melons in cultivation, 
is early for its large size, almost round, dark green 
rind, with a slightly irregular darker veining, slightly 
flattened on the ends; solid scarlet flesh, is a shy 
seeder. This is a fine melon for home and nearby 
trade—sweet, tender, juicy, too large and tender for 
distant shipping. For the last few years it has been 
almost an impossibility to secure enough seed of this 
very popular variety. Is growing in popularity and 
shows signs of out-distancing most other varieties. 
Thurmond Gray—90 Days 
Seed brown. A selection from Irish Gray but 
larger. Outside color lighter green. Wilt resistant. 
Slightly mottled, shape long, thin rind, no cavity, 
average weight 38 pounds. 
Tom Watson—90 Days 
Brown, white spotted seed. An even, oblong, 
dark green melon, finely marked all over with a 
darker green tracery than Kleckley Sweet, and 
slightly longer. Fine variety, flesh deep red, fine 
flavor, no core, often weighing 50 to 60 pounds. The 
most popular and the most used Watermelon for 
shipping purposes on the market today. 
Wonder—86 Days 
In color it is like Kleckley Sweet. In size, it is long. 
It weighs sometimes up to 50 pounds. The color 
of the seeds is white. The texture is fine. The 
flavor is very superior. In reality it is an improved 
Kleckley Sweet. Excellent for Home and Market 
Garden. Not adapted to shipping long distances, 
as its skin is too tender. Flesh deep red. Seed 
white. 17 x 10 inches. 
Preserving Citron—Red Seed 
About 90 days. Seeds red and small. A round, 
small, light and dark green striped melon. Meat a 
greenish white, used for preserving only. Late to 
mature, very hardy, and a long keeper, with a very 
tough rind.
