(ALSO CALLED KING AND QUEEN) 
&&///////// 
FIELD SCENE OF WINTER QUEEN WATERMELONS 
BLACK-SEEDED —This variety has generally been known as a Winter melon, 
however, there are many cars shipped from this district during the early fall; they 
are crated in Honey Dew crates and packed in excelsior. Wherever introduced have 
sold at good prices, far outselling ordinary melons. 
The melon is round; color a very light green, faintly striped with a darker green. 
When fully ripe, closely resembles the Honey Dew in size and color, except for the 
light stripe. It has a thin, tough rind. The flesh is a bright pink, solid and stringless, 
with a few small, black, shiny seeds set firmly near the rind. The flavor is delicious. 
GREY-SEEDED —This strain was developed in Utah. In appearance it re¬ 
sembles the black-seeded variety, but averages larger in size and is a little earlier. 
It is a great favorite in Utah and the Northwest. Our seed of both strains Colorado 
grown. Every season Winter Queen watermelons sell at a premium in this district. 
They will keep nearly all winter and are a great treat when all other melons are 
gone. We advise every lover of watermelons to give it a trial.
