(The Best Known Shipping Melon Introduced to Date) 
For several seasons past there has been a demand for a better grade of seed of 
the Tom Watson. The general complaint was about the hard white cores or centers 
so prevalent in the original strain. After thorough investigation we found a strain 
of the Tom Watson grown in northern Texas “that Cut Red” and was giving general 
satisfaction. We obtained a supply of stock seed from the leading grower there 
which produced the finest crop we ever grew. The melons ran large, were very 
uniform in size and shape and best of all, they CUT RED without the hard white 
centers. 
The seed we offer this season was saved from select melons weighing from 25 
to 50 pounds each. The fact that we sell large quantities of this seed to Florida 
growers should convince the most critical buyers of its superior qualities (as it is 
claimed that Florida produces 90 per cent of the watermelon seed grown in the United 
States). You can’t go wrong in planting this strain. 
Prices Postpaid: Ounce, ,10c; X A pound, 30c; % pound, 55c; 1 pound, $1.00.
