Asgrow Seeds are Well-bred 

WATERMELON 
Watermelons are grown like cantaloupes but require more room. Allow one ounce for 40 hills; 
3-4 1b. per acre. Do not plant seed of unknown origin; the best results are only to be expected from 
seed carefully selected by expert growers from melons raised for seed purposes. 
* Dixie Queen: 85 days. More round than oval, 
30-40 lb., light green with dark stripes. Crisp, 
red flesh, sweet all through. The rind though 
not coarse is tough and this with its firm flesh 
makes it a good shipper. 
*Early Kansas: 80 days. Nearly round, light 
green, irregularly striped. Bright red flesh of ex- 
cellent flavor. A new sort, early and prolific. 
Also known as Indiana Striped.
