ANDREWS-BURRI PRICE LIST 
WATERMELON 
KANSAS KING—This is truly the 
king of all the watermelons with 
which we are acquainted. When its 
wonderful qualities are analyzed, 
the vote is usually 100 per cent. 
Foremost, it is large, often ranging 
60 pounds; it is early. One grower 
from Minnesota reports a sale of 
82 deliciously ripe melons averag¬ 
ing 28 pounds each, 79 days from 
planting, and we have yet to re¬ 
ceive a report of a melon with a 
hollow center from any of the 
growers, whether large or small. 
It is oval or round in shape; dis¬ 
tinctly striped; rich, red flesh, un¬ 
excelled in sweetness with tan col¬ 
ored seeds. 
KING BEE—This melon, since it 
was introduced by us six years 
ago, has met with sales but a little 
short of a revelation to our grow¬ 
ers, as its fine qualities have en¬ 
thused every watermelon lover who 
has become acquainted with its 
sugary, juicy, rich flavor. It is a 
smooth, round, oval-shaped melon 
with dark rind, and often weighing 
50 pounds. Its tough rind makes 
a very desirable shipping melon. It 
is a few days earlier than the 
Stone Mountain, has a vigorous 
vine and is a heavy yielder; free 
from hollow center when ripe, seeds 
are white. 
4th OF JULY —The earliest 
melon of which we are acquainted, 
as the following description will 
show. It is seemingly of Russian 
origin and first offered to American 
growers by the Minnesota State 
Experiment Station. We make no 
claims for its development or 
origin. 
A watermelon that ripens as 
early as nine or ten weeks from 
planting—that is remarkably sweet 
and high in quality—that possesses 
great market appeal—is among the 
newer introductions by the Minne¬ 
sota Experiment Station. 
MOUNTAIN HOOSIER —One of 
the new varieties of Stone Moun¬ 
tain type, only darker rind, red 
meat and more uniform. Not so 
rough. White seed, 35 to 60 pounds. 
Good shipper and lots of merit. 
OKLAHOMA CHIEF—One of the 
largest, nearly round melons, flesh 
is bright red, crisp, solid and sweet; 
seed is black. Thin, tough, dark 
green rind; excellent for shipping 
or hauling to distant markets. 
BLUE BOY or BLUE WATSON— 
Truly a new variety the growers 
have been looking for. Good size, 
fine quality. Blue-black color, blunt 
end. Growing up to 30 inches long 
and weighing 60 pounds. Melons 
have common tan seed, red meat 
and are good shippers.
