^Improved Kieckley Sweet 
Years ago I set out to perfect a better strain of this favorite melon, 
for the reason it was showing some deterioration; melons were not all 
growing uniform in size. I rigidly selected and bred this tj^pe until 1 
now have *a much better melon than the old strain Kieckley Sweet. This 
improved strain grows uniformly large, retaining all of the fine quali¬ 
ties as a table melon, with an important added feature of having much 
harder rind. The seed are creamy white. The color of rind remains 
the same—dark bluish green. 
IMPROVED RATTLESNAKE 
Is an elongated gray with light green stripes, an excellent shipper, 
vines vigorous and productive. Flesh red and sweet, seeds white with 
black tips.
