“Improved Kleckley Sweet” 


Years ago I set out to perfect a better strain of this favorite melon, 
for the reason it was showing some deterioration; melons were not all 
erowing uniform in size. I rigidly selected and bred this type until I 
now have a much better melon than the old strain Kleckley Sweet. This 
improved strain grows uniformly large, retaining all of the fine quali- 
ties as a table melon, with an important added feature of having much 
harder rind. The seed are creamy white. The color of rind remains 
the same—dark bluish green.
