KLECKLEY'S 

 SWEET 



Culture. Require a 

 rich, though sandy soil 

 for perfect development, 

 and thrive best in warm 

 latitudes, such as the 

 Southern or Southwest- 

 ern States, although in a 

 warm sandy soil in a 

 more northern latitude 

 fine crops are often ob- 

 tained. Cultivate and 

 treat exactly as for 

 Muskmelons, except that 

 the hills should be eight 

 to ten feet apart. 1 

 ounce seed to 30 hills ; 

 3 to 4 pounds for an 

 acre. 



172. Bolgiano's In- 

 dian Chief Water- 

 melon. A large ob- 

 long dark green 

 melon, with th ickML 

 netting, the rind is?jj 

 thin but very tough. 

 The flesh is a bright 

 attractive red, and 

 has a crisp delicious 

 flavor. It is very 

 productive, and is an 

 excellent shipper.

15.) 



171. Bolgiano's Cold Mountain Spring Watermelon. 



The ideal melon for Southern shippers, prolific, uniformly good 

 size, tough rind, flesh red and delicious.

 15.) A wonderful producer. No culls. Stands dry weather. 

 Disease resistant. The sparkling red flesh is as sweet as honey. 

 Size uniformly large. Color a light pea green. Will not sunburn. 

 Ripens earlier than Tom Watson. Will keep in good condition 

 for a long time after picking. Will stand long-distance shipping 

 better than any other melon. 



406. Irish Gray Watermelon. The size is uniform and 

 large. Color of rind gray. Ripens earlier than Tom Watson 

 and will keep in good condition for a long time after picking. 

 Very prolific and a good shipper. A fine market sort.

 skin faintly striped with lighter green, deep red flesh of excel- 

 lent flavor. One of the best table sorts. Not a good shipper. 

 Ripening 80 days.

 green skin, red flesh. 



217. Peerless or Ice Cream Watermelon. Very early and 

 one of the best; form oval, rind mottled light green, flesh firm 

 and sugary.

 large, the skin is light green in color, the seeds are white, it is 

 rather early, and very productive.

 appearance, has very good flavor. This is a rather popular 

 market sort. 



192. Kleckley's Sweet. Color dark green, oblong shape 

 usually about twenty-two inches long. This variety is used 

 mostly in the home garden, because of its tenderness it will 

 not stand shipping well.

 rounded at both ends. Skin dark green. Flesh a beautiful, rich 

 crimson, sweet and luscious, ripens to the rind.
