Wood’s Perfection Cantaloupe 
? 4 (80 Days)—The most delicious of 
248. Wood ~ Perfection all orange fleshed cantaloupes; 
beautiful in appearance, but the deliciously sweet, spicy flavor 
of its fine-grained, thick, solid flesh is its outstanding character- 
istic. In these respects we have never offered a melon that is its 
equal. There is no trace of stringiness; the flesh is so thick that 
the seed cavity is unusually small; it is covered with a lace-like 
netting over the entire melon. We recommend it to everyone as a 
melon of surpassing quality and fine delicious flavor. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; 14 lb. 70¢; 1b. $2.50; 2-1b. lots $2.35 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $2.25

(90 Days)—The thick orange flesh is de- 
255. Hearts of Gold liciously sweet, juicy and spicy right 
down to the thin rind. The melons are nearly round and are 
covered with a dense gray netting that is insect resistant; it is 
also blight resistant. The melons are about six inches long and 
usually weigh about two pounds. Highly recommended for the 
home garden and market. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 20c; % 1b. 60c; lb. $2.00;

Luscious. 
245. Honey Dew 
261. Hollybrook Luscious (2° 24vs)—For flayor and size, 
this is the king of all melons. 
Too large to be 
profitable for 
market— they 
often weigh .15 
to 20 lbs.—they 
are ideal for 
home_ use; one 
melon is enough 
for a family.

IX] (85 Days)—Sometimes called Cuban Queen, 
282. Dixie Queen Not the biggest melons (they average 385 
to 40 pounds), but the quality is such that it has created quite 
a sensation. The sparkling, crisp, rich scarlet flesh is firm, sweet 
and juicy right up to the rind, which is thin and tough. It has 
been described as ‘unbeatable for the home garden.” Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 20c; %4 1b. 60c; 1b. $2.25; 2-lb. lots $2.15 per 1lb.; 5-lb. lots $2.00

Kleckley’s Sweet or Wondermelon 
° THE “WONDER- 
269. Kleckley’s Sweet or Monte Christo MELON” 
(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. PEt. 10c; oz. 15c}5 
14 Ib. 40c; 1b. $1.25; 2-1b. lots $1.15 per 1b.; 5-l1b. lots $1.05 per 1b.; 
10-lb. lots 95c per lb., postpaid. 
284. Preserving Citron 
270. Irish Gray (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 account of glutted mar- 
kets. The color is a distinct 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. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15¢; 
4 lb. 45c; 1b. $1.60; 2-1b. lots $1.50 per 1b.; 5-lb. lots $1.40 per 1hb.; 
10-Ib. lots $1.30 per lb., postpaid. 
286. Garrison (90 Days)—Striped like a Georgia Rattlesnake 
but distinctly different, being about twice as 
long as thick, and under favorable conditions grows larger, is 
sweeter and more delicate. A Florida melon grower says: “It is 
among the best, if not the very best melon for home gardens and 
local markets.’’ They often attain up to 75 lbs. in weight. The 
flesh is brilliant red, tender, luscious, very sweet and has a dis- 
tinctly delicious flavor. Where Garrison is best known it is pre- — 
ferred to all other melons for home gardens and nearby markets. 
Pkt. 15c; 0z. 35c; %4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00, postpaid. Supply limited. 
277. Tom Watson (9° Pays)—For years the outstanding ship- 
ping 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; oz. 15¢; 
Y% Ib. 40c; 1b. $1.25; 2-lb. lots $1.15 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.05 per 1b.; 
10-lb. lots 95c per lb., postpaid.

‘ Serves and sweetmeats and for stock 
feeding. Enormously productive; keeps for months. Grow them 
just as you do watermelons, but not near your melon patch.
