Frame’s §lacl<=e\)ed Susan Watermelon 
EVERY ONE A GOOD ONE 
We purchased last season the control of this 
new watermelon from the originator, Hon.Paynter 
Frame, of Delaware, who has probably originated 
more varieties of watermelon, that have become 
leading standard sorts, than any other hybridizer 
in America. In describing it we quote from the 
originator as follows: ‘‘ Black-eyed .Susan is a cross 
between ‘Kolb Ocm,’ ‘Jumbo’ and Johnson’s 
‘Dixie;’ tough rind, handsome red flesh, like 
Johnson’s ‘Dixie,’ but even more delicious; not 
the least stringy, and will reach a very large size ” 
Customers who planted it last spring, so far as we 
have heard, fully endorse all Mr. Frame claims for it. 
Each seed has a large black eye, hence the 
name given it. Pkt., 6c.; oz., 15c.; £lb., 35c.; lb., 
$1.25.
