•WATERMELONS—Con¬ 
tinued. 
767 Ward’s Cannonball, 
White Seeded. (90 
days.) A large, round 
Melon, with solid meat, 
practically all heart. 
While not the earliest 
Melon, our trial 
grounds manager says 
that after he gets the 
first Cannonballs he 
will eat no other Melon, 
for the flavor is the 
very finest. This Wa¬ 
termelon is very well 
known in the Grand River Val¬ 
ley. When better known, no farm gar¬ 
den will be complete without this Melon. 
The rind is only about half an inch thick but the 
flesh is so solid that it will stand a limited amount 
of shipping. This is the variety we recommend to 
you for your main crop. Average 25-30 lbs. Pkt, 
5c; oz, 15c; Vi lb, 35c; lb, SI.10, postpaid. 
Golden Honey Watermelon. 
765 Winter Queen. (95 days.) Watermelons for Christ¬ 
mas. Nearly round, nearly white; ripen early but will 
remain solid and of good quality for two or three

Weight, 10 lbs. Pkt, 5c; oz, 15c; Vi lb, 35c; lb, $1.10,

764 Tom Watson. (95 days.) Still the most pop¬ 
ular of all shipping Melons. The flesh is firm 
and always an intensely dark red color. The 
rind is deep green, indistinctly veined, thin but 
hard and tough, allowing long-distance ship¬ 
ping. Melons average 40 pounds and are cy¬ 
lindrical in shape. Seeds white splotched with 
brown. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; Vi lb, 25c; lb, 75c,

780 Stone Mountain or Dixie Bell. (95 days.) A 
very large, nearly round Melon with dark green 
skin. The rind is quite thin but tough. This

size, fine flavor, and attractive appearance.

Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; 14 lb, 30c; lb, 85c, postpaid.

melon of excellent flavor and enormous size. 
Hippo Delight usually weighs 60 to 70 pounds. 
The rind is quite tough and will stand long¬ 
distance shipping. The solid flesh is dark red 
and a fine sweet flavor. On the market the size 
of Hippo Delight creates the sale. The Melons 
are long with very faint stripes. Seeds white.
