Watermelons Shown From Photographs 
On this and preceding pages we illustrate seven varieties of watermelons. Every one of these illustrations 
are reproduced from photographs of melons taken from our fields growing for seed purposes. The seed you 
buy from us this spring was saved from melons like these. We cannot show you the true coloring when printed 
in black, but we can show you the true shape of our melons. When you buy these special varieties of 
HASTINGS you won’t be disappointed.
