2 Outstanding Watermelons TndMaXt 
Genuine Tom Watson Greatest Favorite as a Shipping 
Melon, and Excellent for Home Markets, Sweet, Crisp and Coreless 
Our seed of this grand variety has been carefully bred and selected from Perfect Specimen Melons and 
is used annually by thousands of planters, many of whom grow exclusively for market, so we feel safe in 
saying it “Excels” in Quality and Quantity any strain of this variety we have ever seen, and we try 
them all in our Mammoth Trial Grounds. Cream of all the melons for home use or long distance ship¬ 
ping, combining the luscious flavor of the “Kleckley Sweets” with the fine shipping qualities of “Ala¬ 
bama Sweet, ” and “ Georgia Rattlesnake, ” making one ideal melon for all requirements. Medium early, 
oblong, of attractive appearance, uniform in shape and quality; the luscious flesh is as sweet as honey, 
melting, and of delicious flavor. Fruits average 35 to 40 pounds, 28 inches long, 12 inches in diameter; 
skin very dark green. Combining the sterling qualities of the best the world produces in the melon line, 
we do not hesitate to recommend it above all others as the one best. Our seed is of the originator’s strain, 
carefully selected and bred to retain the highest possible quality. This is the money-maker. (See photo¬ 
graph.) Packet, 7 cts.; ounce, 12 cts.; V 4 lb., 30 cts.; V 2 lb., 48 cts.; 1 lb., 85 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.60, postpaid.
