The H'awkesbury Wilt 
Resistant Watermelon 
I was convinced the first year I grew this grey rind shipping* wilt- 
resistant watermelon, (1937) that it had a permanent place among the 
best shipping sorts. Its light grey-green rind color gives a distinction 
to the variety. Aside from its possessiong the fine qualities necessary for 
a market sort, it also has fine eating qualities. The vines have a vigorous 
growth, prolific and grows melons weighing 30 pounds and larger, with 
specimens up to 50 pounds. The rind is tough and stands rough handl¬ 
ing with no bad effects. Markets preferring a grey rind melon would 
cater to the Hawkesbury. Uniform shaped and highly resistant to fusarium 
wilt, flesh red, seeds black and no trace of hard or white hearts.
