Pride of Muscatine 
Wilt-Resistant Watermelon 
In some of the leading melon growing districts it has, for the past few 
years, become almost impossible to grow Watermelons, due to melon wilt. 
Pride of Muscatine is a strain of Kleckley’s Sweet that is absolutely re¬ 
sistant to wilt, and will grow and thrive on wilt sick soil, and produce 
an excellent crop where other varieties completely fail. In addition to 
this wilt-resistant feature, which is very desirable in some localities, it 
retains all the superb qualities of the old reliable Kleckley’s Sweet or 
Monte Cristo. In fact, it is superior to that variety. The attractive, ob¬ 
long melons are of large size, running from 40 to 60 pounds under good 
growing conditions. The rich, glossy, dark green rind is thicker than that 
of Kleckley’s, making it a better shipper. The flesh is deep red, crisp, 
tender and deliciously sweet and melting. Pkt., lOc; oz., 15c; lb., 35c; 
lb., 90c; 2 lbs., $1.60; 5 lbs., $3.85; 10 lbs., $7.20, postpaid.

■KLONDIKE—I 
The Sweetest of All 
Early Melons 
This is one of the best early water¬ 
melons from a quality standpoint, ripen¬ 
ing a few days later than the first early 
varieties. 'The melons are oblong, of an 
even dark green color, and usually weigh 
20 to 25 lbs. Flesh is deep red, excep¬ 
tionally cri.sp and tender, as well as 
most delicious in flavor. The seeds are 
small, black, with brown markings. 
Klondike has for years been the lead¬ 
ing early variety in melon growing dis¬ 
tricts along the Pacific Coast. Our strain 
of this melon is an exceptionally heavy 
yielder and gives excellent satisfaction 
in the North. You will be pleased with 
it either for the market or home use.

Plant Burgess' Watermelon Seed for Early Maturity. Be First on 
the Market, Our seed is adapted to all climates and is the best for 
both the Northern and the Southern planter. We sell thousands of 
pounds of Watermelon seed to Southern planters who grow early 
melons to ship North. The fact they continue planting our seed each 
year, and pay more for it than they w’ould have to pay seedsmen in 
their own locality, should be proof that our seed is worth more. A 
few days earlier maturity means considerable to both the Northern 
and the Southern market grower. One ounce of seed for 25 hills; 4 
pounds per acre.
