The California Klondike is a 
western favorite and becom¬ 
ing increasingly popular else¬ 
where. For edible qualities 
and attractive appearance it is 
surpassed by no other water¬ 
melon. The color is a solid 
dark green, showing slight ribs 
running lengthwise of the 
fruit. The rind is thick enough 
to stand careful handling in 
shipping, and the flesh is blood 
red to the rind. The seeds in 
this strain are small and black.
