CONDON’S “Sure Crop” WATER MELONS 
466 Kleckley’s Sweets or Monte Cristo 
“Wilt Resistant ’’ Strain The Sweetest of All Melons 
Medium Early Selected Strain, Suitable for Shipping One to Three Hundred Miles 
There is no melon superior in quality to a good strain of Kleckley Sweets. The bright scarlet flesh 
is the ideal of water melon quality—firm, crisp, entirely free from stringiness or cotton, and “sweet as sugar.” 
The melon is oblong in shape, about 20 inches in length by 10 to 12 inches in diameter. The skin 
is a rich dark green; the rind is thin and brittle, and for this reason the melon is not a good shipper 
to a distance beyond two or three hundred miles, but for home use and nearby market consumption it’s 
got ’em all backed off the list. Our seed is all extra hand select from uniform, well shaped, fully ma* 
tured ripe melons, and I really think it’s just a little better strain than anything we have ever seen. 
“Try This.’’ Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; y 4 lb., 25 cts.; y 2 lh., 45 cts.; lb., 80 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.50, postpaid.
