LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 
A & M Watermelons 
fV.l4-.jf.fa Generally speaking-, the same cultural directions 
vuuuic for muskmelons apply also to watermelons. Plant 
the seed in furrows, dropping ten seeds every eight or ten feet 
apart; cover about one inch. The furrows should be eight 
feet apart. When the plants are established, thin out, leaving 
two vines to the hill. Plant 1 to IZz lbs. of seed to the acre. 
A A. 1V4 K'ls.nsliL'A is without doubt the most popular 
melon in the State of California. We 
introduced the Klondike in 1909 and naturally we are very proud 
of its present reputation. The Imperial Valley alone grows sev¬ 
eral thousand acres of them for shipment to outside territory 
and they are always the first melon to arrive on the Los An¬ 
geles market. The meat is a rich, bright red and very appe¬ 
tizing. Vendors along the boulevards always cut a Klondike 
when they wish to attract customers. The rind is thick enough 
to protect the melon in shipping and yet it is not a thick, heavy 
rind like many varieties. If you are planting for market or for 
home consumption you will not go wrong by planting the Klon¬ 
dike. Average weight 25 lbs. Edible in 87 days. The genuine 
A & M strain is put up in sealed bags for your protection. We 
have both brown seed and black seed strains. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 20c)

Black Seeded Chilian 
Its thin rind and delicious 
flavor make this one of the 
best home garden varieties. Our strain of seed produces a good 
shipping melon and one that is a favorite not only with the 
grower but with the dealer. It is very prolific and very de¬ 
sirable for market. Average weight 18 lbs. Edible in 85 days.

finished you realize that you have eaten a melon as entirely 
distinct from a water melon, as the Casaba is apart from the

not be eaten right off the vine, but be allowed to lie around 
until the first signs of decay. It decays slowly like an apple, 
not like other watermelons. Average weight 10 lbs. Edible
