PREFACE 
In the following pages of this booklet you 
will find catalogued the out-standing new as 
well as all of the old standard varieties 
Watermelon. 
The discretions are clear, brief and with¬ 
out exaggeration, giving the time for matur¬ 
ing and average size of each variety, calcu¬ 
lated on crops grown in Florida. 
I have also designated the varieties most 
suitable for shipping to distant markets, com¬ 
paring quality, stating color and size of the 
seeds.
