Watermelon Plant Klondike and Dixie Queen 


Popularity of Dixie Queen made necessary the planting of over 
one-half our watermelon seed acreage to this variety. 
‘xT 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 appear- 
ance 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 
stringless. 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.
