Oz. 
STRIPED KLODIKE (New) (Special). An excellent shipper 
and of wonderful quality. Light green, conspicuously 
striped with dark. In quality it has no superior and its 
striking appearance advertises it well wherever offered for 
sale. Small brown seeds. Flash deep red. Very sweet. One 
of the best flavored melons we have ever tasted and it is 
early and grows to a large size. Weighs 25 to 30 pounds 
and it is an excellent good keeper.$0.10 
New Klondike. A new black seeded strain of Klondike con¬ 
sidered one of the best early watermelons from a real 
quality standpoint. We know of no sweeter melon among 
the extra early types. The color is dark green—shape long. 
The flesh is deep red, fine texture and exceptionally crisp 
and tender. It is a good yielder and will prove to be a 
profitable market melon for the Northwest. The seed sup¬ 
ply of this new strain is still limited and early ordering is 
advisable .10 
Winter Sweet. A fine new sort of Russian origin whose out¬ 
standing qualities caught Professor A. F. Yeager’s eye and 
taste in his trial grounds. The melon is round with light 
green skin striped with darker green. The flesh is bright 
red, luscious and very sweet and our only regret is that 
we do not have more seed. We do not know why they are 
called Winter Sweet, because we found them to be the 
earliest watermelons on the market.10 
Watermelon, Golden Honey. The flesh is a beautiful glistening 
amber-yellow, very tender with a most delicious flavor. It 
is medium early, of uniform large size, oblong shape and 
of handsome appearance. The skin is green with irregular 
stripes of darker green. No hard core or stringy sections.. .10 
Watermelon, Sweet Siberian (New). An extra early yellow 
fleshed Watermelon that matures in 60 days! This hardy, 
extra-early strain was introduced from Siberia and is giv¬ 
ing excellent results in short season sections. The melons 
are round, dark green, borne abundantly on the vigorous, 
robust vines, and the flesh is beautiful golden yellow, sweet, 
sugary and delicious. Everyone who tastes them marvels 
at the sweet flavor of these melons. They grow to medium 
size, averaging about 9 inches in diameter. Sweet Siberian 
is a most valuable variety because of its extreme earliness; 
at market the melons sell rapidly at good prices.10
