Gilbert/s Cut-Red Watson 
There has never been, so far, a watermelon introduced that became 
as popular as the Watson. It will be planted commercially for a long time 
yet, if the planter can be assured of high quality seed. 
I was very successful in breeding a strain of this favorite melon 
which produced no hard white centers. Believe I have improved the 
Watson melon to the highest degree of perfection in Gilbert’s Cut-Red 
Strain, grows big, green rind melons with red meat. 
GREY JACKET OR ARNOLD 
The Arnold or Grey Jacket, is of recent introduction, is long and 
thick. The rind is grey with small threads of very light green cross 
woven. The rind is tough and will stand hard usage, and is prolific, 
free from hard centers, flesh red and sweet. Creamy white seeds smear¬ 
ed with light brown. Grows large uniform melons and is very satisfactory. 
SOUTHERN OR GEORGIA COLLARD 
This variety is the old-time favorite. Stands all sorts of adverse 
conditions without injury and will make a good crop where the soil is 
too poor to grow cabbage. Hardy, standing unusual winters without 
serious injury.
