Dixie Queen 
The correct name for this melon is DIXIE QUEEN, it is known in 
some sections as Cuban Queen, but is confusing with'the old variety 
by same name which has large black seed and rather course flesh. 
Dixie Queen is an enormous yielder, vines are of vigorous growth, 
melons in form are round to oval, skin striped light and dark green, 
fruits are of good size, flesh bright red, crisp and splendid quality, good 
shipper, and sell to good advantage, seeds small white, and very few in 
each melon, one pound of Dixie Queen seed will plant as much ground 
as two pounds of Stone Mountain or other large type seed, medium 
early, and is a very satisfactory melon with all who have grown it for 
market.

Is a very valuable melon, the productiveness is wonderful, 
the eating quality is all that could be desired in a water¬ 
melon, the sparkling red flesh is very sweet and entirely 
free from hard centers or stringiness, yet the flesh is very 
firm and compact and will not break when sliced. The 
size is uniformly large, color of rind greenish grey, ripens 
medium early, will keep in good condition for a long time 
after picking and is one of the best shippers.

Gilbert’s “Improved Kleckley Sweet” 
Years ago I set out to perfect a better strain of this favor¬ 
ite melon, for the reason it was showing some deterioration; 
melons were not all growing uniform in size, and with the 
feeling that it is a grower’s duty to keep the type of all 
good melons up to standard, l rigidly selected and bred this 
tvpe until I now have a much better melon than the old 
strain Kleckley Sweet. This improved strain grows uniform¬ 
ly large, retaining all of the fine qualities as a table melon, 
with an important added feature of having much harder 
rind. The seed are creamy white, with an occasional seed 
showing brown smear. The color of rind remains the same 
dark bluish green—and grows much larger.
