Halbert Honey 
SEED COMPANY 
Watermelons 
Culture _Prepare hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in thoroughly rotted 
manure or poultry droppings—rich ground gives the plants a good start before insects 
attack them. When the ground is warm plant 6 or 8 seeds to the hill, covering an inch 
deep and, when well up, thin out, leaving three strong plants to each hill. Do not grow 
near pumpkins and gourds. They are often planted between the rows in a cornfield. 
In growing they require plenty of water. Avoid lifting the vines and use only hand tools 
in cultivating. One ounce will plant 30 hills; 2 to 3 pouds will plant an acre. Spray young 
plants with Pyrox for insects and diseases. For early plantings use Hotkaps. This method 
means two weeks ahead on the market.

Tom Watson (Cut Red Strain) 
Red Seeded Citron 
HALBERT HONEY. (82 days.) Often called the 
sweetest of all melons. Entirely devoid of 
fibrous substances, the sweet flesh melts 
away in the mouth like so much honey, even 
after the largest bite of the "heart." This is 
surely a sweet melon, and its delicious crim¬ 
son red flesh extends nearly to the skin, 
the rind being very thin and brittle. The 
melon is long in shape, and the dark green 
skin makes it very attractive. It is quite 
early and the hardy vines are remarkably 
prolific. The rind is not tough or thick enough 
for long distance shipping, but this is a 
prime favorite for local markets and home 
use. 
TOM WATSON, (90 days.) Genuine cut red 
strain. The Watson has rightly been the 
most largely planted melon for shipping 
purposes in the South. It is a splendid ship¬ 
per, excellent for nearby markets and fine 
for home use. In other words it is the best 
combination or general purpose melon ever 
introduced. In eating quality it is good. Its 
tough, medium thick elastic rind makes it 
a splendid one for long distance shipping or 
trucking over rough roads. Oblong in shape 
averaging about 10 to 20 inches. Its dark 
green color and generally handsome appear¬ 
ance make it an easy seller at top market 
prices. 
IRISH GRAY. (90 days.) In sweetness it is 
like Kleckley's Sweets; in shipping quality, 
uniformity in shape, size and in productive¬ 
ness it compares with Tom Watson. The thin 
rind is so tough it will not burst from rough 
treatment in transit; its keeping quality will 
appeal to shippers who have experienced 
losses on account of glutted markets. The 
color is a distinct mottled greenish-gray; the 
flesh is red, sweet, crisp and free from string¬ 
iness. Although a grand shipper, it is 
equally fine for the home garden. 
CITRON 
RED SEEDED. (95 days.) Citrons are not 
edible as fresh fruit and are used only 
for preserving. The flesh is white, hard, 
and the vines are enormously productive. 
The seeds of this variety are a smooth 
shiny red. The outside color is light 
green, with heavy dark green stripes. 
Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; V4 lb., 30c; 
Vz lb., 45c; lb., 75c. Not prepaid, V4 Ib.. 
25c; 1/2 lb., 40c; lb., 65c. 
DIXIE QUEEN. (90 days.) Fruits oblong or 
nearly round, fair size, averaging 25 pounds 
or more, light green, striped and blotched 
with dark green; rind thin but tough. Flesh 
rich scarlet, crisp and extremely sweet with 
very few seeds. Seeds white and small. 
Dixie Queen has now become one of the most 
popular and desirable varieties either for 
home use, market or trucking. It stands the 
drought better than most other sorts. In 
normal seasons grows large enough, a nice 
average size that the trade wants. Dixie 
Queen Melon is sometimes called the white- 
seeded Cuban Queen. Do not confuse it with 
old black-seeded Cuban Queen, which is an 
entirely different melon. Qur stock of Dixie 
Queen is genuine and from the very best 
growers. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Va lb., 
35c; 1/2 lb., 55c; lb., $1.00. Not prepaid, V4 lb., 
30c; V^ lb., 50c; lb., 90c. 
R.-H. CO.'S WINONA. (90 days.) This cele¬ 
brated southern grown watermelon is in a 
class by itself. The fruits are very long with 
dark green rind, flesh crimson-red, crisp and 
sweet. The average weight of Winona Melon 
is about 35 pounds. Our seed is genuine, 
raised for us in the South and saved from 
uniform specimens. Seed shiny black, a very 
distinct and splendid variety either for home 
or market use. Vine vigorous and healthy. 
Winona is especially adapted to our climate 
and soil. We strongly recommend it to our 
customers. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Va lb., 
35c; Vz lb., 55c; lb., $1.00. Not prepaid, lA lb., 
30c; 1/2 lb., 50c; lb., 90c. 
SCHLOCHLER. (90 days.) Qne of the largest 
melons. They will average 45 pounds each. 
The dark green fruit is oblong in shape with 
an indistinct stripe. Flesh bright red, the 
rind for such a large melon is relatively 
thin, and the first taste will convince you of 
its rich, sugary flavor. Vines are vigorous 
and exceedingly prolific and will withstand 
a great deal of drought. As a shipping melon 
it is outstanding; its size, its tough rind and 
its quality entitle it to preference. You will 
also like it in your home garden. Postpaid, 
pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; lb., 35c; V 2 Ib., 55c; 
lb., $1.00. Not prepaid, Va lb., 30c Vz lb., 50c; 
Ib., 90c. 
GOLDEN HONEY. (90 days.) A golden flesh 
melon, glistening amber shade of yellow, 
very tender and delicious flavor, long oval 
shape, rind dark green, entirely free from 
hard centers or stringly sections. Seeds white 
with occasional brownish smears. Maximum 
weight about 35 pounds. A good shipper.
