EBBERT’S IMPROVED MELONS 
THE “SWEETEST OF ALL” WATERMELONS 
EBBERT SEED CO.’S IMPROVED KLECKLEY SWEETS 
This splendid variety is the finest flavored 
melon introduced in recent years. As a 
melon for the home garden and local mar¬ 
ket, it is unexcelled. As originally intro¬ 
duced, the rind was too thin and tender to 
admit shipping, but by careful selection this 
defect has been largely overcome, and at the 
present time is the favorite shipping melon 
with our Colorado growers, and rapidly 
growing in favor in other sections of the 
country. 
In this new strain, now offered, there is 
developed a melon with a shell hard enough 
to carry to market, having been carefully se¬ 
lected for a series of years for this result. 
The rind is not thick, but the skin is so hard 
and tough that it resists the jolts and jars 
of travel to a remarkable degree. 
The melon is large, averaging about 25 
pounds in weight, oblong in form, with very 
dark green skin, flesh deep scarlet red, with 
solid heart, stringless with few seeds set 
near the rind. The flavor is unexcelled. 
Don’t fail to plant this splendid melon for 
home use or nearby markets. 
Place your order early. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
>4 lb., 30c; lb., $1.00; 5 to 10 lbs., 90c per lb.; 
10 lbs. or more, 85c per lb. 
IRISH GREY. A comparatively new variety 
that is becoming very popular as a shipping 
sort. Fruits long oval in shape and of light 
yellowish-grey color. The rind is exception¬ 
ally hard and firm. The flesh is bright red, 
sweet, firm but free from any hard centers 
or' stringiness. A very desirable variety for 
those who prefer a long, light colored ship¬ 
ping melon. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 2 oz., 25c; 
>4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25.
