WATERMELONS---Sweet and Juicy

rind; flesh bright scarlet, solid, of fine 
texture. Quality unsurpassed. Seed

lific. Melons uniform in size and ap-

IMPROVED KLECKLEY'S SWEET—One 
of the earliest, best and sweetest 
flavored melons in cultivation. On 
account of its thin rind, it will not 
stand shipment to distant markets, 
but it is the best that can be grown 
for the home and nearby markets. 
The skin is dark green. The flesh is 
scarlet, firm, solid and of delightful 
flavor.

MUSTARD 
Mustard is grown for greens and requires a 
loamy, rich soil, preferably a sandy loam. It is 
sown either broadcast or in drills; if it is 
sown broadcast about 8 quarts of seed are re- 
quired per acre, if in drills, 3 pounds per acre. 
MUSTARD S PIN AC H—Sometimes 
known as Tender Greens. This new 
vegetable, which is all its name im- 
plies, is a very mild mustard with a 
creamy spinach flavor. Mustard Spin- 
ach grows fast. The leaves are ready 
for cutting three to four weeks after 
planting. Dry, hot weather does not 
injure the crop. 
Pkt., 5¢; oz., 10c; 4 tb., 25c, post- 
paid. 
SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED MUS- 
TARD—Long Standing type. This is 
a decided improvement over the old 
curled mustard as it will stand ten to 
ae days later before bolting to 
seed. '

STONE MOUNTAIN 
STONE MOUNTAIN-—While this mel- 
on is rather new it is fast becoming 
a great favorite in many sections of 
the South, Middle West and Southwest. 
It grows large; rather round in shape 
and dark green in color. The flesh is 
a deep red, has but a few seeds and 
the flavor is all that could be desired. 
Pkt., 5¢; 0z., 30c, postpaid. 
TOM WATSON — The most. popular 
shipping melon grown. The melons 
are large, long and green, like Kleck- 
ley’s Sweet, but with a tougher rind, 
giving it excellent shipping qualities. 
The flesh is a rich red, solid, sweet, 
and luscious, and ripens up close to 
the rind. 
Pkt., 5c; 0z., 30c, postpaid. 
For Early, Better Melons use Vigoro, 
the complete plant food. 
It is the “square meal” for melons 
—supplies all vital elements in com- 
plete, balanced proportions—helps get 
your crop on the early market—gives 
you a better yield of finer quality 
melons. 
for Greens 
FLORIDA BROAD LEAF—Plants are 
rather tall and upright growing, and 
produce considerable more leaf growth 
than other varieties. The leaves are 
large, broad, comparatively smooth 
and have broad, distinct midribs. 
This variety is quite distinct in that 
it stays in condition without bolting 
to seed: considerably longer than most 
other sorts. :
