BUCHANAN’S WATERMELON SEEDS 
240— BUCHANAN’S IMPROVED CUT RED TOM WATSON WATERMELON (90 days) 
The Watson has rightfully been the most largely planted melon in the South for ship¬ 
ping purposes. It’s a splendid melon for shipping, for nearby markets and home use. 
In eating quality the Watson is good, and its tough, medium thick, elastic rind 
makes it the finest shipper. Medium early; melons often weigh 40 to 60 pounds. Its 
dark green color and generally handsome appearance make it a seller at top of the 
market prices. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c; lb., 35c; V 2 lb., 55c; 1 lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.25 
233— IMPROVED KLECKLEY’S SWEET (87 days)—The seed are snow white, with no 
trace of color, and are slightly larger than the regular Kleckley Sweet. The melons are 
very dark green with faint creases or ridges running lengthwise. The edible qualities 
are splendid. The rind perhaps is harder than Kleckley Sweet, making it a shipper 
for moderate distances. Edible in 87 days. Size, 22 x 10 inches. 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 25c; *4 lb., 35c; V 2 lb., 55c; 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.00 
252— RIBAULT (95 days)—Is a new Watermelon, long and thick in shape, measur¬ 
ing from 24 to 30 inches long by 14 to 18 inches in diameter. The rind is dark 
green, indistinctly striped with mingled lighter green. The meat is red and sweet, free 
from hard centers, grows remarkably large, and is very prolific. Ripens in 95 days. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2 ozs., 25c; *4 lb., 35c; V 2 lb., 55c; 1 lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $3.85 
235—HALBERT HONEY (85 days)—Enjoys wide use and is second only to Kleckley’s 
Sweet in popularity for home gardens and nearby markets. The seed are white with 
black tips; the shape is long and cylindrical, and the rind is a deep green with fine veins. 
The melons weigh 35 pounds. Quite similar to Kleckley’s Sweet, the Halbert Honey is 
as handsome a melon as could be desired. Edible in 87 days. Size, 20 x 12 inches. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 2 oz., 20c; *4 lb., 30c; % lb., 45c; 1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.25 
239—IRISH GRAY (90 days)—A long melon, rather large in size and is becoming more 
popular as a shipping kind. The rind is light green in color; the seed are white, and 
its eating qualities very fine. The average weight is 35 pounds, and it is a light seed¬ 
ing variety. Edible in 90 days. Size, 18 x 11 inches.

254— WONDERMELON (85 days)—Is comparatively a new variety, but has become one 
of the new favorites. No watermelon has received more praise in the short time of 
its existence, and justly so, for it is one of the finest flavored melons raised. It is also 
very productive, grows great quantities of big, fine, dark glossy green melons. The rind 
is rather thin, but reasonably tough to insure good carrying for short hauls, and any 
market that receives this melon will sell to good advantage. Grows long and thick, 
seeds white and broad, flesh deep red, juicy and sweet. Time for ripening, 85 days.

241— PERFECTION (87 days)—A new variety, or comparatively so, of unusual merit. 
The seed are white with a dark rim and edge. The rind is very hard and an intense 
dark green, the shape is long, the fruits being thicker at the stem than at the blossom 
end—in other words, the fruit tapers toward the blossom end. It is certainly hand¬ 
some in appearance, both the exterior and when cut. Edible in 87 days. Size, 22 x 10 
inches. Weight, 35 pounds.
