Rind thin, and always a very dark green. Early 
to ripen. Flesh scarlet, sugary and crisp. This 
melon, by reason of its rind, is not as well adapted 
for shipping as for home consumption. 
Stone Mountain (Dixie Bell)—90 Days. Seed 
white with black or dark brown marking. Soil 
makes a great difference in marking. One of the 
largest melons in cultivation. It is early for its 
large size, almost round, dark green rind, with a 
slightly irregular darker veining, slightly flattened 
on the ends. Solid scarlet flesh. It is a shy seeder. 
This is a fine melon for home and nearby trade. 
It is sweet, tender, and juicy. .Too large and 
tender for distant shipping. Undoubtedly the 
most popular Melon on the market. 
Tom Watson—90 Days. Brown, white spotted 
seed. An even, oblong, dark green melon, finely 
marked all over with a darker green tracery than 
Kleckley Sweet and slightly longer. Flesh deep 
red, fine flavor, no core. Often weighs 50 to 60 
pounds. A good shipping type. 
Wonder (Improved Kleckley Sweet)—85 Days. 
In color it is like Kleckley Sweet. In shape it is 
long, weighing sometimes up to 50 pounds. The 
color of the seed is white and the flesh deep red. 
The texture is fine and the flavor is very superior. 
In reality it is an improved Kleckley Sweet. Ex- 
cellent for Home and Market Garden. Not adapted 
to shipping long distances as its skin is too tender. 
17 x 10 inches.
