Watermelons from Your Backyard 
Watermelons will thrive well under the same good 
cultural methods and soil requirements as Musk- 
melon, except the vines are more spreading and re¬ 
quire greater distance between plants. 
CHILEAN (Black Seeded) —This oblong type melon 
has bright red flesh of a fine sweet flavor; thin brittle 
rind, and deep green skin mottled a darker green 
color. It is h'ghly recommended for the home garden. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; lb. $1.00; 2 lbs. $1.80; 
5 lbs. $4.00; 10 lbs. $7.50. 
Watermelon, Coopers Striped Klondike 
KLONDIKE COOPER’S STRIPED— This melon has 
recently won great favor, and is about the same as 
the regular Klondike but the skin is light green with 
mottled dark green stripes running from end to end. 
The flesh is similar also, but slightly lacks the supe¬ 
rior quality found in the University strain. It takes 
well in some markets, and should not be confused 
with Georgia Rattlesnake which is a distinctly sep¬ 
arate variety. A splendid home and market garden 
variety. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50; 2 lbs. 
$2.75; 5 lbs. $6.25; 10 lbs. $11.00. 
Watermelon Angelino 
ANGELINO —This is a medium large blocky dark 
green fruit with a beautifully contrasting bright red 
flesh which is of fine quality. This variety stands up 
well and is a fine home garden variety. Soak seed a 
few hours before planting. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; !4 lb. 35c; 
lb. $1.00; 2 lbs. $1.80; 5 lbs. $4.00; 10 lbs. $7.50. 
Watermelon, Klondike University Strain 
KLONDIKE UNIVERSITY STRAIN— This excellent 
new strain was developed at the University Farm at 
Davis, California. It is the most outstanding strain 
of this popular melon for by careful breeding and 
selection the desired qualities of uniformity in size, 
shape, color and quality have been stabilized. The 
fruits are medium sized, oblong, and solid dark green. 
The flesh is bright red, crisp, tender and excellent in 
eating quality. The seeds are small, few in number 
and uniformly dark colored throughout. Due to the 
uniformity in size, shape and strength of rind, this 
variety is one of the best for shipping, and is also 
unequaled for the home and market garden. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 20c; 14 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50; 2 lbs. $2.75; 5 lbs. $6.25; 
10 lbs. $11.00.

deep green skin, faintly webbed or veined with a 
deeper green color. Fine quality bright red flesh. 
A splendid home garden variety and is particularly 
favored in the South. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; !4 lb. 30c; 
42 lb. 50c; lb. 85c.

RED SEEDED —Small round fruits mottled light and 
dark green. Used for preserves; ripens late and keeps 
for months. Should not be planted near watermelons 
as they cross readily. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; !4 lb. 35c; 
lb. $1.00.
