W atermelons 
Prices on all varieties of Watermelons: oz., 5c; 
1 oz., 10c; M lb., 20c; 1 lb., 65c. 
After trials of about 20 kinds we selected the fob 
lowing: 
Alabama Sweet. The best long melon grown ; fine for ship¬ 
ment, large, of oblong form, flesh bright red and delicious 
flavor. Seeds are white. 
Cole’s Early. Best home variety and for nearby market; 
early and hardy, very sweet, red, rind slightly striped. 
Pordhook Early. A good melon and ranks up with Cole’s 
Early, only larger and better, long distance shipper. 
Onions 
Halbert Honey. Another good home variety, with a dark 
green skin and crimson flesh, extra flavor, rather oblong. 
Once tried it will always find a place in the garden. 
Kleckley Sweet. A big melon, rank grower and simply cov¬ 
ers the ground with fruit of fine market quality. It does 
well in northern climates and cannot be beaten for medium 
crop. 
Tom Watson. Though this variety matures early, it is the 
largest melon, 18 to 20 inches long and 10 to 12 inches thick 
and has a record of weighing from 40 to 50 pounds. 
A tough rind, making a good shipper. Its quality is as 
good as any melon grown. There is no mistake in “Torn 
Watson.” 
All varieties of Onions: M oz., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 50c; 1 lb., 
$1.60. 
Our Onion Seed is already cleaned and dried ready for shipment 
and never have we had such fine looking seed. We grow this from 
the best selected onions and we will guarantee you will not get any 
better. Can make a very attractive price on large lots or carloads. 
Write and state number of pounds wanted. This is one of our 
leaders. 
Allen’s Select Ohio Yellow Globe Danvers. This is the variety we 
make a specialty of. Hundreds of carloads of this variety are shipped 
from this section each season and are considered by 
buyers to be the truest Globe Danvers type, also the best 
keepers in any section of Ohio. We sell large quantities 
of this seed. While last season we sold all we had, we 
believe we now have enough to supply all our 
customers. Write for prices on 10- to 100-lb. lots. 
Mammoth Silver King- Onion. One of the larger 
imported onions. The bulbs are flat, 
remarkably mild, both skin and flesh 
a silvery white color.

grown, weighing up to 6 pounds, 
perfectly round, light yellow with 
pure white flesh, mild flavor, solid. 
Is a profitable sort to grow, sells 
best.

heaviest yielding and best keeping 
of the red onions.

globe onion, mild and pleasant.

mild onion, good for market.
