BUCHANAN’S WATERMELON SEEDS 
240—BUCHANAN’S IMPROVED CUT RED TOM WATSON WATERMELON (90 days) 
—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.

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.

Sweet in popularity for home gardens and nearby markets. The seed are white with

as handsome a melon as could be desired. Edible in 87 days. Size, 20 x 12 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. Grows 
long and thick, seeds white and broad, flesh deep red, juicy and sweet.
