HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Stone Mountain Watermelon 
Stone Mountain 
95 days. A recent introduction from Georgia, already very 
popular in the South and destined to be so in the North. 
Huge in size, it nevertheless is comparatively early and has 
remarkable quality. The fruits are nearly round in shape and 
rich green in color. The flesh is a uniform red; very sweet, 
juicy, and crisp, without stringiness. The seeds are very few 
and hence costly for the seed grower to produce. Not a good 
shipper, but ideal for home garden, local market and roadside 
stand. Weight 40 to 80 pounds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 
25c; i/ 2 lb., 45c; fb., 85e; 2 lbs., $1.45, postpaid. 
WATERMELON 
CULTURE: Watermelons require a rich, light sandy soil. 
They can be grown successfully in northern states if given 
reasonable care and plenty of sunlight. Hills should be pre¬ 
pared in the same manner as for muskmelons, but should 
be set 8 to 10 feet apart each way. Manure deeply and 
thoroughly and keep well watered. Sow 8 to 10 seeds to the 
hill and thin out the plants to 3 strong ones. One ounce will 
sow 25 hills. 4 pounds to the acre. Slugshot, Garden Guard, 
and Rotecide are the proper insecticides to use to combat the 
melon bugs. Evergreen for Aphis. One ounce of seed for 25 
hills. 4 pounds to the acre. 
SWEET HEART. Splendid shipper and popular home and mar¬ 
ket garden sort. Fruits very large; round to slightly ob¬ 
long, with blocky ends; light green with fine, darker 
veining; rind hard and tough; flesh bright red, crisp, and 
sweet; seeds black. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., 25c; 1/2 lb-/ 
40c; lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
HAWKEYE PEERLESS. Highest quality very early melon. Fruits 
of medium size, roundish to oval; bright green, faintly vein¬ 
ed; rind firm, brittle; flesh bright scarlet, of splendid 
quality; seeds white. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 25c; V 2 
ib., 40c; lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
GEORGIA RATTLESNAKE (Gypsy). This old Southern favorite 
has the most conspicuous striping of the oblong types. The 
rind is moderately thick and strong, and the flesh is juicy 
and sweet. A very desirable white-seeded variety, but only 
useful where summers are long. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 
20c; y 2 lb., 35c; lb., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
KLECKLEY'S SWEETS or MONTE CRISTO. Distinctly a home 
garden melon as the dark bluish-green rind is so crisp that 
it breaks easily. The long, oval fruits are slightly larger 
near the blossom end. They weigh from 25 to 35 pounds 
and ripen in 105 days. We know of none better in quality 
of flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 20c; V4 lb., 35c; lb., 
70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
TOM WATSON. This long smooth melon is especially favored 
in the South. The rich green skin is faintly webbed with 
a veining of deeper green, and the thin rind is tough and 
rubbery. Vines hardy, vigorous, and productive; flesh dis¬ 
tinctly crisp and juicy. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 25c; Vi 
ib., 40c; lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
HARRIS EARLIEST. By far the earliest and one of the most 
attractive watermelons. The fruits are oval but blocky. 
They ripen in 80 days and are large for so early a melon. 
Home gardeners in the North will find this particularly 
satisfactory. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 25c; Vi lb., 40c; 
lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid. 
HALBERT'S HONEY. 85 days. Large, handsome fruits, 18 to 
20 inches in length, 12 inches in diameter. Skin is deep 
green showing fine veins. Weight about 35 lbs. Flesh is a 
beautiful crimson extending to within half inch of rind. 
Vines vigorous in growth and prolific in production. Seed 
white with black tips. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 25c; V 2 
tb., 40c; lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.35, postpaid.
