The Real Red Meated “Tom Watson” 
-i he Watson has rightly been the most largely planted 
melon for shipping purposes in the South. It is a splendid 
shipper tine for nearby markets and good for home use as 
well When first introduced years ago we said that it was 
the best combination or general purpose melon ever intro- 
duced. That holds true today. When properly grown from 
right seed it s good for all purposes. In eating quality it is 
good. It s tough, medium thick elastic rind makes it a splen- 
i one for long distance shipping or trucking over rough 
roads. Medium early in maturity, cylindrical shape averag¬ 
ing about 10 by 20 inches.. Its dark green color and gen¬ 
erally handsome appearance makes it an easy seller at top 
of market prices. Genuine Cut Red Strain. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c- 
Vi lb. 25c; lb. 85c. * 
Thurmond Gray 
The king of all the long shaped gray skin melon varieties. 
We watched this melon for three years, before adding it to 
our list. We wanted to see if it lived up to all the claims 
made. It did and has continued to do so ever since. Its light 
green or grayish green color gives distinction to its appear¬ 
ance and being a good producer and fine shipper it has been 
a success since its start. Brings top prices in those markets 
where gray melons are the favorite. Rind tough, flesh fine 
grained, free from strings and of good flavor. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
10c; Vi lb. 25c; lb. 75c.

Wonder (Improved Kleckley Sweet) 
This fine new 'Watermelon has been very popularly received, 
for a long time the old variety, Kleckley Sweet, has been 
the standard home garden melon in the South and is popular 
all over the country.. It is not as good as it once was but 
at its best it could not compare with this fine new variety 
which we called Improved Kleckley Sweet. This new melon 
is regular m shape, larger, sweeter, or better quality and 
better in every way than the old Kleckley. It is large, heavy 
oblong, an even dark green skin, rather thin rind, rich bright 
scarlet flesh and an all-round fine melon for home and near¬ 
by market use. There can hardly be a typical farm home in 
the entire South nor even a good sized town garden without 
at least a few hills of good, sweet home-grown melons to 
serve crispy cold on hot summer days. This cooling dark 
green melon with its frosty red heart, and it has a large 
and generous haert, surely is a refreshment delicious. Pkt 
5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb, 25c; lb. 75c; 5 lbs. $3.00.
