No. 277. Tom Watson 
No. 270. Irish Gray 
(90 Days)—For years the outstanding 
Shipping melon and equally popular 
for the home garden. The dark green melons are large and long, 
the flesh rich red, distinctly crisp, juicy and sweet. Pkt. 10c;

per lb.; 10-lb. lots 70¢ per 1b., postpaid. 

[90 Days] —In sweetness it is like 
Kleckley’s Sweet; in shipping quality, 
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 conn 
of glutted markets. The color is a distinct mottled greenis 
gray; the flesh is red, sweet, crisp and free from stringiness. 
Although a grand shipper, it is equally fine for the home garden.

276. Florida Giant or Cannonball (0 Days) 
(85 Days)—All of the sparkling, crisp, bright crimson meat is 
deliciously sweet right up to the thin rind. _For the home garden 
we recommend it without reserve; it carries well for long dis- 
tances, for the rind, though thin, is very tough. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c;

If you grow them on good land, feed 
them well and have only one or two 
melons to the vine, melons 
weighing nearly a hundred 
pounds may be grown under fa- 
vorable growing conditions. The 
size of the melons depends on 
the land and the supply of prop- 
er plant food, but melons averag- 
ing 35 pounds should be produced 
under usual cultural methods. 
The melons are oval shaped with 
blunt ends, dark green skin, firm, 
erisp, bright red flesh that is in- 
clined to be coarse grained. It is 
the largest of the newly intro- 
duced varieties. To produce ex- 
tra big melons prune the vines 
to one or two fruits. The seeds 
are black. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c;
