THE WORLD’S LARGEST WATERMELON! 
We will ask that you take notice of the Watermelon, pictured 
on this page, which was produced in 1933 by E. O. Kennedy, 
Route 5, Atlanta, Texas. 
This is the world’s largest melon, weighing 183 pounds, and 
has received write-ups in a great many of the farm papers of 
the South. We purchased the melon for display purposes and to 
secure the seed. 
It of course requires special fertilizers and growing methods 
in order to produce a melon of this size. Mr. Kennedy states 
that the melon is an improvement on the regular Triumph, 
which he has perfected to its present size.
