SOME UNUSUAL WATERMELONS 
WINTER WATERMELON MAMMOTH PRIZE WATERMELON 
A home-grown melon for your Thanksgiving dinner. It is not 
a citron or a freak, but a very prolific, long-keeping true water¬ 
melon. Flesh red, extremely firm, very brittle and deliciously 
sweet. Fruits taken from the field before killing frosts and 
stored in a cool place will keep long into the late fall and early 
winter and retain their delicious sweetness and flavor. Pkt. 10c

PEERLESS, OR ICE CREAM 
The Earliest Large, Long Watermelon 
Peerless is the earliest large, long Watermelon. Our strain of 
this wonderful melon ripens very early. For the Central and 
Northern States, we consider this the best general cropper for 
the home market; has too thin a rind for shipping unless packed 
in straw. Fruits larger than Halfjert Honey or Kleckley’s 
Sweet and ten days earlier; rind light green, mottled and veined; 
flesh bright scarlet, solid to the center, tender, sweet, melting 
and delicious. Few, if any, surpass it for quality and 
productiveness. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c 
GOLDEN HONEY 
A Delicious Yellow-Fleshed Watermelon 
Flesh of rich golden color, firm, crisp and glistening, sweet as 
honey and fairly melts in your mouth. No hard core or stringi¬ 
ness. An early melon, averaging about 20 lbs. each, and very 
few seeds. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c, Postpaid 
GEORGIA RATTLESNAKE 
One of the finest melons ever grown; a splendid keeper, excellent 
shipper. Sometimes called Striped Gypsy. A very large melon 
of good shipping qualities. Shape oblong, striped, and mottled 
with various shades of green. Flesh bright red. Flavor sweet 
and first-class. Rind not thick. Pkt. 10c—3 for 25c, Postpaid 
Mammoth Prize or Improved Triumph is 
the largest Watermelon grown. Many grow 
to from 100 to 150 lbs. On one vine, five 
melons were grown that weighed 152, 151, 
1493 ^, 148^, and 147 lbs., the five weigh¬ 
ing a total of 748 lbs. The seed we offer is 
extra select, and should produce fine, sweet, 
juicy melons of excellent quality and enor¬ 
mous size. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c 
KLECKLEY*S SWEET OR 
MONTE CRISTO 
One of the earliest, best and sweetest-flavored melons in cultiva¬ 
tion. On account of its thin rind, it will not stand shipment to 
distant markets, but it is the best that can be grown for the home 
and nearby markets. The skin is dark green. It is of sym¬ 
metrical oblong shape, well rounded on both ends. The flesh is 
scarlet, firm, solid, and of delightful flavor. Pkl. 10c—3 Pkt*.

STONEMOUNTAIN 
WATERMELON 
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. 10c—^3

NEW CLIMBING WATERMELON

Melons about size of large coconuts; crimson flesh of the highest 
quality; rich and sweet. Fruit ripens for a long period, unlike 
other sorts which ripen their fruit mostly at one time. An ideal 
melon for the small garden. Pkt.^lOc—3 Pkts. 25c
