juicy, red, delicious. 
This new watermelon has been scaled down 
to the small American family and the home- 
size refrigerator. It weighs no more than 6 
pounds and measures about 6 inches across. 
The melons are ready for picking in 65 days 
from seed sowing time. This new midget' 
watermelon is a perfect miniature of large 
melons. The flesh is just as red and juicy. 
The rind is very thin in gray-green stripes. 
Plants are remarkably productive and yield 
a melon every 6 inches along the vine.
