half our watermelon seed acreage to this variety. 
bob 85 days. This attractive, large, round melon 
Dixie Queen made a hit from the start, and in addition to 
being a splendid shipper and a heavy yielder, its striking appearance 
commands instant attention and ready sale. Its flavor and quality 
bring repeat customers. Fruits almost round, light green veined 
with dark green; rind tough. Flesh rich scarlet, sweet and string- 
less. Ordinary size about 35 pounds, but will grow to as large as 60 
pounds. Seeds small and white. A shy seeding variety, and the price 
higher than some. In saving our stock seed, we noted in one lot 
that it required 500 melons averaging 40 pounds each to make 17 
pounds of seeds.
