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 crimson red 
flesh extends nearly to the skin, the rind being 
very thin and brittle. The melon is long in 
shape, weighs approximately 32 pounds, and 
the dark green skin makes it very attractive. 
It is quite early and the hardy vines are re- 
markably 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. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 14 lb., 
30c; 1/2 Ib., 45c; lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.25. 
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. Seeds 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., 10c; 1% lb., 35c; 1% lb., 
S5ce; lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.25.

IRISH GRAY 
SCHLOCHLER. (90 days.) One 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 exceed- 
ingly prolific and will withstand a great deal 
of drought. As a shipping melon it is out- 
standing; 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., 
10c; 1% lb., 30c; 1% lb., 45c; Ib., 75c; 5 Ibs., $3.25. 
IRISH GRAY. (90 days.) In sweetness it is 
like Kleckley’s Sweet; in shipping quality, uni- 
formity in shape, size and in productiveness 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 ac- 
count of glutted markets. The color is a dis- 
tinct mottled greenish-gray; the flesh is red, 
sweet, crisp and free from stringiness. Although 
a grand shipper, it is equally fine for the home 
garden. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1% lb., 30c; 
VY Ilb., 45c; lb., 75c: 5 lbs., $3.25. 
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 stringy sections. Seeds white with occa- 
sional brownish smears. Maximum weight 
about 35 pounds. A good shipper. Postpaid, 
pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 1% lb., 30c; 2 lb., 45c; Ib., 
75c; 5 Ibs., $3.25. 
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 shipper, excellent 
for nearby markets and fine for home use. In 
other words it is the best combination or gen- 
eral 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 12 by 22 
inches, and weighing approximately 35 lbs. 
Its dark green color and generally handsome 
appearance make it an easy seller at top 
market prices. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; %4 
Ib., 30c; VY lb., 45c; 1b., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.25.

COLLECTION CONSISTING OF 
Varieties, Total Value 55c, Sent Post- [} C 
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. Our 
stock of Dixie Queen is genuine and from the 
very best growers. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c;

The outside color is light green, with heavy 
dark green stripes. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 1% lb., 30c; V2 lb., 45c; lb., 75c.
