The Sweetest Flavored Large Melon Grown 



One of the most popular, early, large 

 watermelons grown. It is a high bred 

 delicious melon originated in the 8outh, by 

 Mr. W. A. Kleckley, and is especially cele- 

 brated for its fine flavor. It is a long, oval 

 shaped watermelon, averaging 18 to 20 

 inches in length by 10 to 12 inches in diam- 

 eter, with a dark green rind. Of handsome 

 appearance; ripens early. The flesh is sear- 

 let, very firm, and of luscious quality and 

 crisp texture. It is widely popular, and is 

 one of the best family garden melons, or for 

 nearby market it is a ready seller, but the 

 rind is rather too tender for distant ship- 

 ping. It gives satisfaction almost every- 

 where, and we can recommend it for use 

 both North and South; matures in 85 days. 393 kleckley sweets or monte cristo watermelon.
