Pride of Muscatine 
Wilt-Resistant Watermelon 
In some of the leading melon growing districts it has, for the past few 
years, become almost impossible to grow Watermelons, due to melon wilt. 
Pride of Muscatine is a strain of Kleckley’s Sweet that is absolutely re¬ 
sistant to wilt, and will grow and thrive on wilt sick soil, and produce 
an excellent crop where other varieties completely fail. In addition to 
this wilt-resistant feature, which is very desirable in some localities, it 
retains all the superb qualities of the old reliable Kleckley’s Sweet or 
Monte Cristo. In fact, it is superior to that variety. The attractive, ob¬ 
long melons are of large size, ruflning from 40 to 60 pounds under good 
growing conditions. The rich, glossy, dark green rind is thicker than that 
of Kleckley’s, making it a better shipper. The flesh is deep red, crisp, 
tender and deliciously sweet and melting. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; 
lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.80; 5 lbs., $4.25; 10 lbs., $8.00, postpaid. 
Stone Mountain 
A very large, medium dark green, round melon of excellent quality. 
Flesh highly colored, very solid, with fewer seeds than most varieties. 
The fruits frequently attain a weight of 60 to 80 pounds. The rind is 
tough enough to stand handling for nearby markets but will not stand long 
distance shipping. We have found this somewhat earlier than other large 
varieties. It produces an abundant crop and can be grown successfully 
farther north than many of the large long varieties. Pkt., 8c; oz., 13c; 
% lb., 30c; lb., 85c; 2 lbs., $1.55; 5 lbs., $3.60; 10 lbs., $6.80, postpaid. 
Mammoth Prize Watermelon 
Weighed 149 1 /* lbs. 
Mammoth Prize or Improved Triumph is the. largest Watermelon 
grown. Many grow to 50 lbs. or more, and there are records of 
some being grown which weigh nearly three times that amount. 
Several years ago one was grown at Lake Park, Ga., which weighed 
149% lbs. and was sent to the Governor of the State of Georgia. 
One weighing 148% lbs. was grown near Monticello, Fla. With 
rich soil and good care mammoth size melons can be produced 
wherever ordinary melons can be successfully grown, as this 
variety requires only 90 days growing season. The seed we offer 
is exti'a select, and should produce fine, sweet, juicy melons of 
good quality and enormous size. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 55c; 
lb., $ 1.75, postpaid. 
KLECKLEY’S SWEET or MONTE CRISTO. One of the most if not 
the most popular melon for the home garden and for nearby markets, be¬ 
cause of its superb flavor and surpassing crispness. No melon sweeter 
than Kleckley’s Sweet. Average length 18 to 20 inches; color very dark 
green; season medium early. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; % lb., 25c; lb., 70c; 
2 lbs., $1.25; 5 lbs., $3.00; 10 lbs., $5.60, postpaid.
