A color half-tone print depicting three children watching a man place a watermelon in a root cellar. This stereo card consists of two identical side by side images. In the daytime outdoors, a man wearing a bright colored hat, long sleeve shirt, dark vest and bottoms, carries a very large watermelon into a stone faced root cellar. Behind him, on the ground, is bushy green foliage. Watching the man from the top of the stone facing are three dark haired boys wearing bright colored tops. Behind them, making up the foreground of the image, is high bushy grass and tall trees. Below the right image card, printed on the sheet in bold English is: “Dis am the Pick of dat Patch.” Copyright is also indicated for Griffith & Griffith.
