Watermelons 
HOW TO GROW ’EM. Rich sandy loam soils are considered best for 
Watermelons, but good crops are grown on any well-drained fertile soil. 
Adding well-rotted manure to soil gives the plants a good start, and to 
commercial growers we recommend an application of 600 to 800 pounds of 
commercial fertilizer to the acre. 
Space hills at least 10 feet apart. 

WONDER MELON. In shape large and 
long, somewhat resembling the Wat- 
son, only thicker. The color is a dark 
solid green. Imagine the finest and 
best flavored Watermelon you have 
ever tasted, add to it flavor, sweet- 
ness, size, and you have some con- 
ception of the famous Wonder Melon. 
Its brilliant red meat, right up to 
its thin, tough rind, has a delectable 
flavor that is unrivaled. The melon 
itself is heavy, oblong, and often 22 
inches in length; its rind is a rich 
glossy, bluish green. 
STONE MOUNTAIN. Highest quality 
home garden, market garden and 
shipping variety. Melons are very 
large, 40 to 60 pounds on good melon 
land, oval-round with blunt ends, 
lightly veined or mottled medium 
dark green skin, and tough. rather 
thin rind. Flesh is rich searlet, very 
fine grained, crisp, tender and espe- 
cially sweet. 
KLECKLEY’S SWEET. This is un- 
questionably the sweetest long, dark, 
glossy melon we know of. The flesh 
is crimson, very sweet and of a de- 
lecious flavor. Vigorous in growth 
and a heavy fruiter. An excellent 
melon for home use and small patches. 
DIXIE QUEEN. 90 days, 30-45 Ibs. 
The New White Seed Cuban Queen. 
Superb new, round or blunt oblong, 
fine flavored gray melon with prom- 
inent dark green stripes. It has been 
the sensation of Southern markets 
since 1932. It has richly colored, 
sweet, juicy firm flesh which seems to 
be all heart because of its very small 
seeds. Its tough rind allows shipping 
and it sells on sight. Melon markets 
are looking for new varieties of merit 
and that is why the new Dixie Queen 
is commanding so much attention. 
The white seeds are so small that a 
pound goes farther than other va- 
rieties. 
TOM WATSON. Considered the hest 
shipping melon. One of the main or 
later varieties maturing in about 90 
days. Attractive, good sized. (35 to 
50 lbs.) About 24 inches long, rind 
thick and tough, medium green, Flesh 
crimson, sweet, melting, and of su- 
perb flavor. Very prolific. Equally 
fine for the home garden. 
HALBERT’S HONEY. Very popular 
because of its sweet flavor. While too 
tender for shipping (its bright scarlet 
flesh ripening close to the rind) its 
oblong form and handsome green rind 
make it very desirable for home 
gardens and local markets. 
THURMOND GRAY. 90 days, 30-40 
Ibs. The rind is very tough and 
stands shipping as well as any melon 
grown. The flesh is free from string, 
fine grained, of deep red color, crisp 
and tender. Seeds are brown and of 
medium size. Its eating qualities are 
excellent. 
FLORIDA GIANT (Cannonball). Vines 
vigorous and very productive. Fruits 
dark green, nearly round; flesh firm 
and red; of excellent quality. Ships 
well, though rather large for some 
markets, and is one of the best all- 
purpose varieties. Seed mottled dark 
brown.
