255. HEARTS OF GOLD (90 Days) 
The thick orange flesh is deliciously sweet, juicy and spicy right down 
to the thin rind. Nearly round and covered with a dense gray netting 
that is insect resistant; it is also blight resistant. About six inches long 
and usually weigh about two pounds. Highly recommended for home 
garden and market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; '/4 Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.00; 2-Ib. lots

245. HONEY DEW (110 Days) 
The smooth skin is creamy white when ripe and so tough that the melon 
is practically sealed up and will keep for a month or more. Allow 3 
months to mature, pull when the blossom end is slightly soft, and keep 
a few days before serving. Has a flavor distinct from the flavor of 
cantaloupe. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; '4 Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.00; 2-lb. lots $1.90 
per |b.; 5-Ib. lots $1.80 per |b.; 10-Ib. lots $1.70 per Ib., postpaid. 
261. HOLLYBROOK LUSCIOUS (90 Days) 
For flavor and size, this is the king of all melons. Too large to be 
profitable for the 
market — they 
often weight 15 to 
20 |bs.—they are 
ideal for home 
use; one melon is 
enough for a 
family. The fla- 
vor is equal to 
that of a Honey 
Dew melon. Con- 
tinues bearing till 
cold weather and 
holds its splendid 
quality up to the 
very last. Pkt. 
15c; oz. 35¢; '%

Wood's Perfection Cantaloupe 
248. WOOD'S PERFECTION (80 Days) 
The most delicious of all orange-fleshed cantaloupes; beautiful in ap- 
pearance, but the deliciously sweet, spicy flavor of its fine-grained, 
solid flesh is its outstanding characteristic. There is no trace of stringi- 
ness; 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 recom- 
mend it to everyone as a melon of surpassing quality and fine delicious 
flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c¢; 4 Ib. 70c; Ib. $2.50; 2-lb. lots $2.35 per Ib.; 
5-lb. lots $2.25 per Ib.; 10-Ib. lots $2.15 per |b., postpaid. 
WATERMELON SEEDS 
Plant in 
May and June 
before the insects attack them. When the ground is warm plant 6 or 8 seeds to the hill, covering an inch deep and, when well up, thin out, leaving 
ote hills 8 or 10 feet apart each way by working in thoroughly rotted manure, or poultry droppings—rich ground gives the plants a good a) 
three strong plants to each hill. One ounce will plant 30 hills; 3 pounds one acre. 
286. GARRISON or DARLINGTON (90 Days) 
Striped like a Georgia Rattlesnake but about twice as long as thick, 
and under favorable conditions grows larger, is sweeter and more deli- 
cate. Often attain up to 75 lbs. in weight. The flesh is brilliant red, 
tender, luscious, very sweet and has a delicious flavor. Where Gar- 
rison is best known it is preferred to all other melons for home gar- 
dens and nearby markets. Pkt. 10c¢; oz. 30c; '/%4 Ib. 85c; Ib. $3.00; 2-Ib. 
lots $2.85 per |b.; 5-lb. lots $2.75 per |b.; 10-lb. lots $2.60 per Ib., 
postpaid. 
270. IRISH GRAY (90 Days) 
In sweetness it is like Kleckley's Sweet; in shipping quality, it com- 
pares 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 markets. 
The color is 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. 20c; '/4 Ib. 60c; Ib. $2.00; 2-Ib. lots 
$1.90 per Ib.; 5-Ib. lots $1.80 per Ib.; 10-Ib. lots $1.70 per Ib., postpaid. 
277. TOM WATSON (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; oz. 15¢; 
V4 Ib. 45c; Ib. $1.50; 2-lb. lots $1.40 per Ib.; 5-Ib. lots $1.30 per Ib.;

lots $1.20 per |b., postpaid. 
282. DIXIE QUEEN (85 Days) 
(Sometimes called. Cuban Queen)—Not the biggest melon (average 
30 to 35 pounds), but the quality is such that it has created a sen- 
sation. The sparkling, crisp, rich scarlet flesh is firm, sweet and juicy 
right up to the thin, tough rind. Unbeatable for the home garden.

Kleckley's Sweet or Wondermelon 
269. KLECKLEY'S SWEET or MONTE CHRISTO (85 Days) 
(The "Wondermelon")—All of the sparkling, crisp, bright crimson 
meat is deliciously sweet right up to the thin rind. For the home gar-
