A most attractive melon in 
both outside appearance and 
especially when cut. The rind 
is tough, hard and fairly thick. 
The color is light green with 
irregular dark green stripes. 
It does not show sunburn and 
has proven very desirable for 
shipping. The size is conven¬ 
ient, the flesh is scarlet and 
sugar content is higher in the 
Klondike than in any of the 
other watermelons. Its edible 
qualities are truly delicious. 
This strain has black seeds, 
splotched and striped with 
brown at the edges.
