flesh will keep many days. Size is jiist right for the customer to carry home,

these melons in our seed fields: “The best melon I have ever eaten.’’ Melon

FROM SIBLEY, LA. Whenever I want a real good watermelon I cut a Stone 
Mountain from Burrell’s seed. But when I have company and want to show off I 
call for a Burrell’s Grey. I find that most people consider the Burrell’s Grey the 
most beautiful of all the watermelons, and it has quality too. A ripe Burrell’s Grey 
never fails to win.
