716—KANSAS SWEETS. A big round melon that 
looks like the old Kolb Gem but with the quality 
and flavor of the Kleckley Sweet and brown or pink 
seeds something like Tom Watson. 
We found it down in Kansas two or three years 
ago and shipped in a lot of them and sold them here 
at the seed house. They gave splendid satisfaction 
and people came back for more. 
We sold the seed that year but it is hard to get 
and couldn’t offer it the next year. This year we 
have a moderate supply but can fill packets and 
ounces only unless we are able to find more seed. 
It is a fine looking great big delicious melon. Better 
get a start of it. Price, Pkt. 100; oz. 250.
