successfully raised here in the North. We can highly recommend this 
variety both for the home garden and roadside stand.

deep bright red and of very fine quality.

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; )4 Lb. 45c: Lb. $1.40. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. This extra early variety grows well in fairly cool 
climates 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 and mottled with 
darker stripes. The flesh is bright red and of good quality.

best early melons for home use. The melons are not large but they ripen 
very early and are deliciously sweet, with firm, solid, deep red flesh, and

who want an early melon of superior quality should plant this variety.
