Reuter $ Wondermelon 
A variety which has become one of the 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 pro¬ 
ductive, grows great quantities of big, fine, dark glossy green melons, 
fully as good eating quality as any melon. 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, flesh deep red and juicy sweet. I can unreservedly 
recommend this melon for the market gardeners and large truckers. It 
will please and satisfy those who like good melons. 
Smith, Cletex or Spotted Watson 
This melon originated few years ago in Oklahoma, named “The 
Smith,” two years later it was known in Texas as “Cletex,” also called 
Spotted Watson, and is one of the best all purpose melons, producing 
melons about the same shape and size of the Watson, with indistinct 
stripes of a spotted character, a sort of marbled effect mixed with dark 
green color which gives it an odd and beautiful color. The flesh is red 
and sweet, rind tough which assures good shipping quality. Seeds same 
color of Watson.
