WATERMELON (Continued) 
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, common¬ 
ly called white heart. Our stock of this variety is absolutely 
pure and has been developed for high yielding qualities of 
uniformly true to type melons. 
Pkt. 5c; Va lb. 20c; 1 lb. 60c. 
FLORIDA MAMMOTH SWEET. (New) (95 days.) This new 
variety makes the largest size melons of any variety, under 
ideal growing conditions producing melons 50 to 60 lbs. or 
more in weight. The fruits are long, and have a medium thick 
rind, which is dark green in color, indistinctly striped with 
lighter green. The flesh is a bright, attractive red, very sweet 
and free of hard centers, and contains very few, exceedingly 
small, black seeds. Where unusually big sizes of high quality 
melons are desired this new variety has no superior.

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 attrac¬ 
tive 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 qualities desired in a good shipping melon. 
Seed supply limited. 
Pkt. 5c; Va lb. 30c; 1 lb. $1.00. 
KILGORE'S BRED-RITE STONE MOUNTAIN. (Improved 
Light Green Rind Strain.) (95 days.) This is an early melon 
and has become very popular in all the large Watermelon¬ 
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 prolific and 
the fruit has very few seeds, being almost all good, crisp, red 
meat clear to the rind, of delicious flavor and sweetness. Ours 
is the genuine, true to type, mingled light green color Stone 
Mountain. This strain has been developed and selected 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; Va lb. 25c; 1 lb. 75c. 
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; Va lb. 20c; 1 lb. 60c. 
CHILIAN WHITE SEEDED. (90 days.) This is a very early, 
round melon. The tough, thick rind is green with darker strip- 
ings. The bright red flesh is very delicious. Average weight is 
twenty pounds. Grown extensively in West Indies for local 
use. 
Pkt. 5c; Va lb. 20c; 1 lb. 60c.
