No. 271. Florida Favorite [85 Days]. Sometimes called 
Pearson —Not as early as Extra 
Early Dark Icing, yet Florida Favorite is classed as an extra 
early melon. There are few melons that can equal it in sweet¬ 
ness; it is not stringy; the flesh is bright crimson, crisp, solid 
and deliciously sweet. Although bigger melons have been intro¬ 
duced, Florida Favorite holds its splendid reputation for uni¬ 
formly good quality and is a prime favorite especially for the 
home garden. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; V4 lb. 20c; lb. 70c; 2-lb. lots 65c

No. 275. Stone Mountain [9 ° ® a ys] — The largest of the 
round or nearly round melons, for 
on good melon ground they weigh 50 pounds or better. The out¬ 
side 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 Ivleckley Sweet 
and almost equal to Jackson. It is especially recommended for 
the home garden and nearby markets, but if carefully packed 
the rind is tough enough to stand considerable handling, and on 
25c; lb. 90c; 2-lb. lots 85c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 75c per lb.; 10-lb. lots 
65c per lb., postpaid. 
No. 281. Schochler 
—One of the really big melons, carloads 
frequently averaging 45 pounds or more. 
It has a dark red, fine-grained meat; no white hearts; the rind 
for such a large melon is relatively thin, and the first taste will 
convince you of its rich, sugary flavor. As a shipping melon it 
is outstanding; its size, its tough rind and its quality all entitle 
it to preference. You will also like it in your home garden.

Florida Favorite 
Schochler Watermelon 
277 Tom Wattrrn t 85 Days]—So firmly established has 
INO. 4. tom vvaison Tom Watson become as the ideal ship¬ 
ping 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 Ivleckley’s Sweet, but larger 
and has a tough rind, giving it exceptionally fine shipping quali¬ 
ties. 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 gardener. 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; [4 lb. 20c; lb. 70c; 
2-lb. lots 65c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 55c per lb.; 10-lb. lots 50c per lb., 
postpaid. 
[90 Days] —When grown on good 
soil and under high cultivation, 
they frequently weigh fifty pounds, and they are practically all 
meat, for the rind is thin. There is a marked absence of the 
stringiness so often found in extra large melons; the bright red 
flesh is firm and very sweet and luscious. The melons are long, 
dark green with dark irregular stripes. A fine melon for the 
home garden and for nearby market. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; [4 lb. 20c; 
lb. 70c; 2-lb. lots 65c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 55c per lb.; 10-lb. lots 50c
