Leading Commercial Melon Today And An Ex- 
cellent Home Garden Variety 
A sensational new Watermelon of outstanding 
merit and destined to become one of the most 
popular for the market grower and the home 
gardener. Under proper methods of cultivation, 
melons weighing 50 lbs or more are not unusual. 
The sparkling crisp red flesh is deliciously sweet clear to 
the rind. It is solid, with very few small white 
seeds. The outer skin is light green, striped 
and blotched with dark green, rather tough, 
and does not bruise easily. A good shipping 
melon because of the texture of the skin and 
the strength of the rind, and it will travel to 
distant markets and arrive in perfect condi- 
tion. Produces sturdy, strong vines that carry 
a large number of melons—it will produce 
earlier and outyield most other varieties. It 
has all the good qualities demanded by com- 
mercial growers and is perfectly adapted to 
the smaller home-garden. Enjoy this delicious 
melon fresh from your own garden this year.

inches in diameter. The skin is a rich 
dark green; the rind is thin and brittle,

jform, well shaped, fully matured, ripe 
melons. This extra care in selecting the 
melons from which the seed is saved 
costs a little more than the method 
generally used but it insures you seed
