Dixie Queen!? 
A new early melon which has been a sensa¬ 
tional hit from the start. It is literally taking the 
market where a large round melon is preferred. Attractive, convenient 
in size and shape. A splendid shipper and a heavy yielder. Its striking 
appearance commands instant attention and ready sale. Fruits almost 
round, light green veined with darker green; thick tough rind. Flesh 
rich scarlet. Sweet and stringless, one of the best in eating quality. 
Ordinarily weighs about 35 pounds but will grow to as much as 60 
pounds. Seeds small and white. 
A shy seeding variety and the price higher than some. In saving 
our stock seed we noted in one lot that it required 500 melons averag¬ 
ing 40 lbs. each to make 17 lbs. of seed.

Grow Sweet 
Watermelons 
Chemical analysis of watermelons for 
sugar content indicate the trend of the 
public’s preference for certain varieties. 
In one analysis it was found that Striped 
Klondike carried 12.7% soluble solids, followed closely by Early Black 
Seeded Klondike at 12.2%; Stone Mountain and Kleckley 11% and Tom 
Watson 10%. We suggest to those who have not tried Klondike 
Watermelons that they at least make a trial planting. You will find 
these listed on page 52.
