Burrell's Red Heart Watson for t ?eaiiy d |ooa ^?ge e mei°o a ns n of 
the Tom Watson type will be pleased with this. A fine grained, deep 
red fleshed entirely stringless and very sweet melon. There was not 
a white heart or an off-melon in our fields. Rind is very tough and 
darker greerj than the older strains of Watson. Under proper grow¬ 
ing conditions will often average 40 pounds. Each year we plant in 
our trial ground, samples of good strains of the Tom Watson from 
many sources. To date we have been unable to locate a strain as 
good as this one.

From Hartfield, Va. I note you would not have any Burrell's Grey 
melon seed for sale this spring. They made 
quite a hit here. Growers are inquiring from 
me about seed. I grew two-thirds selects last year from the seed bought from 
you. (Have it now—send your orders.)
