BLUE RIND WATSON— 
Variety No. 23 
This is a distinct variety of the Tom Watson. 
Its rind is a deep shiny green with a bluish 
sheen; some are so dark, they are almost black. 
It has small brown seed and its flesh is a deep 
blood red and very tender and sweet. Its rind 
is thin and very tough making it a splendid 
shipper. Average from fifty to seventy-five 
pounds. Its general shape is exactly like the 
Willhite’s Regular Watson you have known 
and liked so well. They will sell and ship equal 
to them on any market and most buyers prefer 
them to the Regular Watson because they make 
a much better appearance and are much better 
melon when cut. Some few regular Watsons 
will be found in field planted with Blue Rind 
BLUE RIND WATSON—Variety No. 23 
Watson seed because the type is not firmly established yet, but no such melons found in our fields were 
seeded. Only about two per cent showed up regular Watson, not enough to cause complaint. We have 
for several years sold about four pounds to one of this melon as compared with the regular Watson, 
not because the regular Watson is not good, but because the Blue Rind is so much better. We originat- 
ed this melon and recommend it to all who want a good shipping melon and one that will sell. It 
matures in about eighty-five days. % lb. 80c; ¥ lb. $1.40; % Ib. $2.05; 1 lb. $2.50. All plus postage.

The New Cuban Queen is a highly improved 
strain of the old Cuban Queen, hardly as long in 
shape as the old variety, it being slightly oblong 
and growing very large, many of the melons will 
weigh up to 80 and 90 pounds each. This is an 
exceptionally showy and attractive melon with 
light green rind and a darker mottled green stripe,
