From Tamsui (Daitotei), Formosa, Japan. Presented by Mr. Carl F. Deichman,

 "Seeds of a watermelon growing in the island of Formosa, which has a fairly good 

 flavor and I believe with proper cultivation could be much improved in quality. 

 The meat of the melon is a very pretty shade of yellow, from lemon to light-orange 

 color, and the size averages about 12 inches in diameter. It would, no doubt, be 

 quite acceptable in the larger restaurants of New York, where there is always a demand 

 for something out of the ordinary. It is not rare here." (Deichman.)
