dark red, very sweet and fine textured. Seeds brownish black. 
KLECKLEY'S SWEET No. 6 WRINN 88

splendid quality.

and Klondike. May be used wherever the regular Klondike, grown commercially in 
California, is adapted.

of greyish bloom. Acclaimed by many as one of the sweetest of all melons.

excellent quality. Seeds small; color black intermingled with shades of tan.

spotted with black. 
STRIPED KLONDIKE (Blue Ribbon Klondike) WRUPP 80

Wilt Resistant class of watermelons and opens up new possibilities for other areas to 
produce this notably high quality melon.
