Early Kansas Watermelon 

EARLY KANSAS WATERMELON 
This melon is rapidly gaining popularity in all the mid-western markets; for 
local markets, also truck hauling, is one of the favorites, due to the outstanding 
appearance; being a large oval almost round with block ends; the rind is a dark 
green color with alternate stripes of a lighter shade: The flesh is a rich red color 
nearly to the rind and has a wonderful flavor. The Seed we offer was grown in this 
district the past season and saved from melons that averaged thirty-five to forty 
pounds. The average maturity is from 80 to 85 days.
