Florida Giant (Cannon Ball). 
FLORIDA GIANT (CANNON BALL). (92 days.) Our 
trials have indicated that this medium early variety is a valu- 
able addition for Florida melon growers. The vines are of a 
very vigorous growth and exceedingly heavy producer of 
very large, nearly round, solid dark-green skin melons, with 
thick rind and firm, rather coarse grained and fibrous, sweet, 
deep red, attractive flesh, with small black seeds. Very hardy, 
and withstands poor growing conditions better than other vari- 
eties. This variety is sometimes called black seeded Stone 
Mountain. It resembles Stone Mountain in form, but has a 
much darker green rind and grows to much larger size. Be- 
cause of the dark green rind, it is in great demand, always 
having a fresh appearance. Growing in favor by leaps and 
bounds among commercial melon growers in Florida. Also a 
desirable home garden variety. 
Seed supply very limited.

KLECKLEY’S SWEET (WONDERMELON). (95 days.) 
This is an early melon for the local market and home garden. 
The vines are sturdy and prolific and the green rind fruit is 
long, slightly constricted toward the stem end, with a very 
crisp, sweet and fine flesh. The rind is too thin to make a 
good shipper, but because of its high edible quality it is very 
popular for home use and for local market.

FLORIDA FAVORITE. (90 days.) An early, long, medi- 
um-sized melon, irregularly striped with lighter green. The 
flesh is a deep red and very delicious. This melon does not 
ship very well, but it is a desirable variety for the garden and 
home market because of its very high edible quality and uni- 
formly high yield.

WATSON (IMPROVED). (100 days.) This is the most 
popular of all shipping melons. Cylindrical in shape, with me- 
dium dark green, thick, tough rind. The flesh is very firm, 
sweet, and has been bred especially for solid, deep red meat, en- 
tirely free of hard, white center, commonly called white heart. 
Our stock of this variety is absolutely pure and has been de- 
veloped for high yielding qualities of uniformly true-to-type 
melons.

A most promising, high yielding variety for Florida. 
STONE MOUNTAIN (Improved Light Green Rind 
Strain). (92 days.) This is an early melon and has become 
very popular in all the large watermelon-growing districts. It 
is a large, round melon with deep red flesh that has a very 
delicious flavor. The medium hard, green rind makes it an 
excellent shipper. Vines are very prolific and the fruit has 
very few seeds, being almost all good, crisp, red meat clear to 
the rind, of delicious flavor and sweetness. Ours is the genu- 
ine, true to type, mingled light green color Stone Mountain. 
This strain has been developed and selected for uniformity and 
for high yields of true light green rind melons, free of white 
heart and solid meated throughout with few pure white seeds 
having a dark ring around the edge. There is a strain of large 
dark green rind Stone Mountain which has not been satisfac- 
tory. We have bred away from this type.

GARRISON (Dude Creek). (95 days.) We offer the gen- 
uine strain of this prized variety. Fruits are uniformly cylindri- 
cal in shape, very large, long, with a thin, tender rind. The 
color is white and green striped, the green stripes usually 
being broken. The shape and stripings are similar to those 
of the Georgia Rattlesnake variety, but it is an entirely dif- 
ferent melon. It has a very delicate flavor, sweet and tender 
meat, and grows to weigh 40 to 50 pounds, if the vines are 
pruned to one or two good shaped melons per plant, pulling 
off all other melons at least twice a week. Because of its high 
edible quality and large size it is rapidly gaining popularity 
and commanding premium prices. It is not, however, a ship- 
ping melon because of the brittle, easily broken rind, but is 
crown extensively for local markets. 
Seed supply extremely limited.
