Wasser-Melone (Ger.) WATERMELONS Cocomero d’acqua (It.) 
A packet of seed will plant about 8 hills; an ounce 25 to 30 hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre. 
Anyone who has light sandy soil can raise good watermelons. 
The best varieties to grow depends upon the length of the season. In 
the north, where the summers are short, Hungarian Honey, Wonder Melon, 
Fordhook Early, and Stone Mountain are the most certain to ripen. 
See page 82 for strong Potted Watermelon Plants. 
WONDER MELON. (New.) We can highly recommend this variety 
both for the home garden and roadside stand. This melon is the largest 
and best of the oblong varieties which can be successfully raised here in 
the North. 
The melons are oblong in shape with dark green skin and the flesh 
deep bright red and of very fine quality. This is an early vigorous grower 
and large crops can be raised here in the North. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; y 4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
STONE MOUNTAIN. (Sometimes known as “Dixie Belle/') Although 
this melon was first introduced in the South it is one of the best varieties 
for the North we know. During the past season in our trials it was among 
the earliest to ripen and is one of the surest kinds for raising here in the 
North. The melons are of large size almost round and dark green. 
The flesh is deep red and of the highest quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; y 4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. Best for cool climates. This extra early variety 
grows well in a fairly cool climate and is, therefore, very desirable in 
the northern parts of the country where watermelons ordinarily will not 
ripen. It is almost as large as Stone Mountain, slightly oval, dark green 
mottled with darker stripes. The flesh is bright red and of good quality. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; y 4 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
HUNGARIAN HONEY. The sweetest watermelon. This is one of 
the very best early melons for home use. The melons not large but they 
ripen very early and are deliciously sweet, with firm, solid, deep red flesh, 
and small black seeds. The fruit is nearly round and dark green. Those 
who want an early melon of superior quality should plant this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; y 4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
WINTER QUEEN. These unusual melons have a white skin with deep 
red flesh of superb quality. They are round, of medium size, and if 
picked before frost will keep for several months. An excellent variety 
for the home garden, and for markets where they are known. Try these.
