BUIST’S LITTLE GEM 
75 Days—Many watermelons grow so large 
that the average housewife can not, as a rule, 
use one. A smaller size is more suitable, easier 
to store in a refrigerator and can be eaten at 
one meal without annoying leftovers. Buist’s 
Little Gem meets this essential condition. The 
earliest melon that grows. Fruits nearly round, 
small in size, 12 to 15 lbs., a convenient fam- 
ily size. Skin dark green striped with gray 
green. Flesh a pinkish red, very firm, sweet 
and about as delicious eating as any melon 
could be.

of dark green; rind fairly tough. Flesh dark 
red, crisp and sweet. Seeds white.
