High-Grade Watermelon Seed Has Been One of Our Specialties for Many Years 
Kilgore’s Bred-Rite Early Kansas (New) 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE EARLY KANSAS. (New) (88 
days.) This is a wonderful new watermelon, of Russian origin, 
which we predict will become one of Florida’s leaders just as 
soon as it is better known. The vine is very vigorous and a robust 
grower, making it a very heavy cropper. It is extremely early, 
maturing seven to ten days earlier than Watson and Stone 
Mountain. Exceedingly prolific, producing an enormous num¬ 
ber of melons, averaging 30 to 32 lbs. in weight. Very attractive 
in appearance, nearly round in form, light green but slightly 
darker than Dixie Queen, with broad, wavy stripes, broader and 
more wavy than Dixie Queen. The rind is very tough, making 
it a good keeper and shipper. Of finest sweet flavor, solid, bright 
red meat, with no white or stringy hearts, and containing very 
few buff colored seeds. This new variety possesses all the quali¬ 
ties desired in a good shipping melon. Seed supply limited. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 35c; 1 lb. $1.25. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE IMPROVED KLECKLEY’S 
SWEET OR WONDERMELON. (95 days.) This is an 
early melon for the local market and home garden. The vines 
are sturdy and prolific and the green rind fruit is long, slightly 
constricted toward the stem end, with a very crisp, sweet and 
fine flesh. The rind is too thin to make a good shipper, but 
because of its high edible quality it is very popular for home 
use and for local market. 
Pkt. 5c; 141 b. 20c; 1 lb. 60c. 
CHILIAN WHITE SEEDED. (90 days.) This is a very 
early, round melon. The tough, thick rind is green with darker 
stripings. The bright red flesh is very delicious. Average weight 
is twenty pounds. Grown extensively in West Indies for local use. 
Pkt. 5c; 141 b. 20c; 1 lb. 60c. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE STONE MOUNTAIN. (Im¬ 
proved Light Green Rind Strain.) (95 days.) This is an 
early melon and has become very popular in all the large Water¬ 
melon-growing districts. It is a large, round melon with deep 
red flesh that has a very delicious flavor. The medium hard, 
green rind makes it an excellent shipper. Vines are very pro¬ 
lific and the fruit has very few seeds, being almost all good, 
crisp, red meat clear to the rind, of delicious flavor and sweet¬ 
ness. Ours is the genuine, true to type, mingled light green 
color Stone Mountain. This strain has been developed and se¬ 
lected for uniformity and for high yields of true light green rind 
melons, free of white heart and solid meated throughout with 
few pure white seeds having a dark ring around the edge. There 
is a strain of large dark green rind Stone ^Mountain which has 
not been satisfactory. We have bred away from this type. 
Pkt. 5c; 141 b. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
KILGORE’S BRED-RITE IMPROVED WATSON. 
(100 days.) This is the most popular of all shipping melons. 
Cylindrical in shape, with medium dark green, thick, tough 
rind. The flesh is very firm, sweet, and has been bred especially 
for solid, deep red meat, entirely free of hard, white centers, 
commonly called white heart. Our stock of this variety is ab¬ 
solutely pure and has been developed for high yielding qualities 
of uniformly true to type melons. 
Pkt. 5c; Mlb. 20c; 1 lb. 60c.
