Threshing Dixie Queen 
Watermelons. The thresh¬ 
er consists of a crusher 
and revolving reel which 
removes the seed. This, 
together with the juice, 
flows into a washer on 
the side of the machine. 
The washer removes the 
juice and pulp and after 
rinsing the seed is ready 
for the drying trays. 
Note that the finest of 
the large melons are be¬ 
ing threshed for the 
stock seed grade. 
Plant Dixie Queens well away from the road; everybody likes them. 
Dixie Queen 
85 days. This attractive, large, round melon made a hit 
from the start, and in addition to being a splendid ship- 
per and a heavy yielder, its striking appearance com¬ 
mands instant attention and ready sale. Its flavor and quality bring repeat 
customers. Fruits almost round, light green veined with dark green; rind 
tough. Flesh rich scarlet, sweet and stringless. Ordinary size about 35 
pounds, but will grow to as large as 60 pounds. Seeds small and white. A 
shy seeding variety, and the price higher than some. In saving our stock 
seed, we noted in one lot that it required 500 melons averaging 40 pounds each 
to make 17 pounds of seeds.
