DISEASE RESISTANT WATER MELONS 
In many sections of our country ordinary strains of Water Melons often fail 
due to fusariam wilt. This destructive plant disease may be present in the soil 
for many years and so far as is known cannot be successfully controlled. 
To combat this disease State Colleges have developed strains that are resistant 
to this ailment. For a number of years, Pride of Muscatine, an Iowa develop¬ 
ment was used. While this was resistant to disease it lacked edible quality and 
color of flesh. In the last few years much work has been done by the Iowa Ex- 
permwit Station in developing water melons that are of high quality and also 
resistant to wilt. 
IMPROVED KLECKLEY SWEETS NO. 6 (Wilt Resistant) —A great improvement 
on the old Pride of Muscatine. It has the resistant qualities of the Pride of 
Muscatine and the quality of the best strains of Kleckley Sweets; in addition it. 
is also a splendid shipper as the rind is tough. The melons are oblong in shape, 
about 22 inches long and 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Pkt. Sc.; oz. 15c.;
