DIXIE QUEEN 
A Remarkable Neiv Watermelon 
O F all the Watermelons that we 
have seen during our long ex- 
perience as seedsmen we have 
found none that equals Dixie Queen. It 
seems to have all the good qualities de¬ 
manded by commercial growers, and is 
well adapted to the smaller home-garden. 
There are five pri2,e requisites required 
to put a Watermelon in the profit-making 
class: First, the sue; second, the color; 
third, the flavor; fourth, the shipping 
qualities; fifth, yield. 
Dixie Queen has these five qualities 
The siz,e is not unduly large, yet un¬ 
der proper methods of culture, melons 
weighing 50 pounds or more are not 
unusual. This characteristic makes Dixie 
Queen a good selling melon. 
Its flesh is a mighty attractive color—- 
rich, bright red that is most appealing. 
It is solid, with very few seeds. The 
outer skin is light green, striped and 
blotched with dark green, rather tough, 
and does not bruise easily. 
The flesh is pleasingly sweet, with 
just the flavor that appeals to every 
judge of good melons. Dixie Queen has 
a thin rind, which means little waste. 
A good shipping melon because of the 
texture of the skin and the strength of 
the rind, and it will travel to distant 
markets and arrive in perfect condition. 
Dixie Queen produces strong, sturdy 
vines that carry a large number of 
melons. In fact, it will outyield most 
other varieties grown for market or 
home-use. 
The illustration on the first page of 
this folder is an excellent representation 
of Dixie Queen. We believe that it is 
a variety of outstanding merit and des¬ 
tined to become one of the most popu¬ 
lar Watermelons for market growers 
and the home gardener.
