$300 Per acre—Seems like a lot of 
money but an acre of melons may 
pay even more than that. Every 
farm in the Northwest can spare at 
least %4 acre for a melon patch. 
701—EARLY CANADA: This new melon is 
earlier than any of our American melons, and we 
recommend this for planting as far north as melons 
have ever been grown. Weighs from 10 to 15 
pounds. Light green skin. The vivid scarlet flesh 
is very firm. One of the best quality melons we 
have ever raised at Yankton. We had ripe melons 
in 73 days from the time the seed was planted.

705—KLONDIKE R7: One of the sweetest 
melons I know of. Oblong, medium size, dark 
green rind, and small black seeds. Flesh is a 
beautiful sparkling, deep red color, very crisp and 
tender.

722—DIXIE QUEEN: (See colored Picture on 
Page 2) GOOD; I'll say they are, AND EARLY 
TOO. Not as large as Red Seeded Hutchinson or 
Mastodcn but you can expect a lot of 40 POUND 
MELONS. They DON’T HAVE A LOT OF 
SEEDS. 
The melons are light green with narrow dark 
green stripes, thin rind, nearly round, very heavy 
bearers.

716—RED SEEDED HUTCHINSON or EARLY 
KANSAS: This is the best of the new watermelons 
developed in the last few years. Large, nearly 
round, light green with dark green stripes. A load 
of them makes a very attractive appearance. 
I like watermelon and eat lots of them and this 
year Red Seeded Hutchinson is at the head of the 
list for size, appearance’and quality. 
They are fairly early, coming on the market 
after the early varieties are gone, and are so large 
and so good that they find a market at very at- 
tractive prices.

712—GURNEY’S SCARLET, WONDER: Did 
you ever see a scarlet watermelon, not just red, but 
a bright flaming scarlet? 
The black seeds and dark green rind contrasting 
sharply with the bright scarlet flesh makes sales 
for this melon. Appearance sells the first melons. 
The high quality takes care of resales as there is no 
better quality melon grown. Medium size, early, 
thin, tough rind—a good shipping melon as well 
as a melon for the home garden.

714—EARLIEST AND SWEETEST: The melons 
weigh from 12 to 15 pounds, the flesh is scarlet, 
very sweet, and fine grained. They are very heavy 
bearers, often producing 10 to 12 melons to a hill. 
We wish to say to our Northern customers that 
this is the one you should plant. There is lit- 
tle use in planting the large late varieties in your 
locality. They are only a disappointment—nearly 
ripe when the frost comes. You will always get 
under the wire with the Earliest and the Sweetest.

707—GURNEY’S MASTODON RADIO: Gur- 
ney’s Mastodon Radio Watermelon will produce 
more melons than any other variety; it also pro- 
duces the largest melons; the flavor cannot be beat, 
and you will never find the hard core as in so many 
of the melons. It is not unusual to produce melons 
of this variety weighing ninety pounds. Its bright 
red flesh is of delicious flavor and the quality that 
calls for more.

Why not raise a patch of 

strawstack where they are stored, get a big round 
Winter Watermelon so crisp that sometimes it will 
split wide open when you stick a knife into it.

so attractive, that it looks good enough to eat— 
and it is. 
If you are a market gardener, you can lengthen 
your melon season out over a month, and that — 
means more profits.
