WOOD’S s §rS n water melon seeds 
Wood’s Melon Seeds are saved from melons grown expressly for seeds. Do not be misled by offers of cheap seeds that are saved 
" uuu 3 1 c from culls and runts, melons left after the best have been sold. Such seeds are expensive if they cost you 
nothing-. Plant the best—plant Wood’s. Do not plant Northern and Western-grown seeds if you want the finest watermelons.

No. 275. Stone Mountain {he 3 or Imarly^rumul 
melons, for on good melon ground they weigh 50 lbs. or 
better. The outside color is dark green; the flesh is deep 
red, firm and solid, almost all heart with no white hearts 
or stringiness. In delicious sweetness it is the equal of 
Halbert Honey and Kleckley Sweet and almost equal to 
Jackson. It is especially recommended for the home gar¬ 
den and nearby markets, but if carefully packed the rind 
is tough enough to stand considerable handling, and on 
arrival usually outsells all other melons. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

f'lO. /. lom Vv arson e( j has Tom Watson become as 
the ideal shipping melon that even the varieties like 
Thurmond Gray and Irish Gray have not supplanted it 
to any great extent. The melons are large, long and 
dark green like the Kleckley’s Sweet, but larger and has 
a tougher rind, giving it exceptionally fine shipping 
qualities. The flesh is rich red, solid, sweet and luscious 
and ripens close up to the rind. Although a shipping 
melon, its fine quality commends it to the home gar¬ 
dener. Unfortunately, there are lots of Tom Watson 
seeds that are saved from the leavings of the crop after 
the best are shipped, runts and white-hearted melons. 
These seeds can be bought at a very low price, and are 
not worth even that. Don't plant them. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c;

Tom Watson—Cut Red Strain 
No. 278. Jackson ed° Uif 8 sweetest 
melon for home use, we would un¬ 
hesitatingly name Jackson. Our opin¬ 
ion of Jackson is shared by practi¬ 
cally everyone who has been privi¬ 
leged to taste one of its delicious 
slices, for no other melon can surpass 
it in delightful sweetness. The mel¬ 
ons are long with a mottled green 
skin; the meat is a rich red, firm, 
there are no white hearts, and it 
ripens close to a thin rind. Pkt. 5c;
