WATERMELON (Continued) 
DUDE CREEK OR GARRISON. (New) (98 days.) This prized 
variety grows vigorously. Fruits are uniformly cylindrical 
in shape, very large, long, with a thin, tender rind. The color 
is white and green striped, the green stripes usually being 
broken. The shape and stripings are similar to those of the 
Georgia Rattlesnake variety, but it is an entirely different 
melon. It has a very delicate flavor, sweet and tender meat, 
and grows to weigh 60 to 80 lbs. if the vines are pruned to one 
or two good shaped melons per plant, pulling off all other 
melons at least twice a week. Because of its high edible 
quality and large size it is rapidly gaining popularity and 
commanding premium prices. It is not, however, a shipping 
melon because of the brittle, easily broken rind, but is grown 
extensively for local markets.

EARLY KANSAS. (88 days.) Tne vine is very vigorous and 
a robust grower, making it a very heavy cropper. It is ex- 
tremely early, maturing seven to ten days earlier than Wat- 
son and Stone Mountain. Exceedingly prolific, producing an 
enormous number of melons, averaging 30 to 82 lbs. in 
weight. Very attractive 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 variety possesses all the qualities desired in a good ship- 
ping melon.

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.

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, Seed supply very limited.

KILGORE’S 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 specially for solid, deep red 
meat, entirely free of hard, white centers, commonly called 
white heart. Our stock of this variety is absolutely pure and 
has been developed for high yieiding qualities of uniformly 
true-to-type melons.

The Standard of Quality in Florida for Over 30 Years 
CANNON BALL or FLORIDA GIANT. (92 days.) Our trials 
have indicated that this relatively new, medium early variety 
is a valuable addition for Florida melon growers. The vines 
are of a very vigorous growth and exceedingly heavy pro- 
ducers of very large, nearly round, solid dark-green skin 
melons, with thick rind and firm, rather coarse grained and 
fibrous, sweet, deep red, attractive flesh, with small black 
seeds. This variety is sometimes called black seeded Stone 
Mountain. It resembles Stone Mountain in form, but has a 
much darker green rind and grows to much larger size. Be- 
cause of the dark green rind, it is in great demand, always 
having a fresh appearance. Growing in favor by leaps and 
bounds.

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.
