EARLY KANSAS WATER-MELONS 
Our further experiments throughout the country where this new melon was 
planted has demonstrated the fact that it is the Largest Early Melon Grown, 
and Matures Melons about 30 days earlier than most sorts. We find it does not 
shed the first setting as most melons do, and matures melons right along till 
frost. Our crop at Topeka began bearing melons on July 2nd. Melons weigh 
from 30 to 75 lbs. Our reports from Florida and from a hundred acres of var¬ 
ious varieties planted for seed purposes show the Early Kansas was far ahead 
of all standard varieties in Producing a Melon of the finest texture, sweetest 
flavor, with rich bright red colored flesh. 
This Melon is nearly round, light green in color with a deep dark broad 
stripe weighing from 30 to 75 pounds or more with glossy buff colored seeds 
which are few in each melon averaging about four ounces to the melon. The 
rind is about half inch thick. 
The very handsome appearance of this melon which is borne on very heavy 
vines with large heavy tap roots make it a sure melon to grow. It is a won¬ 
derful shipper. 
We have only a limited amount of seed to offer so don’t delay your order.
