EARLY KANSAS RED SEEDED. 85 days. 
Another recent introduction of outstand- 
ing merit. It has rapidly gained wide 
popularity on the markets of the mid- 
west. The size is large, it is remark- 
ably early and of fine quality. The out- 
side color is dark green with alternate 
stripes of a lighter shade. The rind is 
of medium thickness well suited for carry- 
ing reasonable distances and the flesh 
is a rich red color, of delightful flavor. 
It has shiny brown seeds. Other names 
for this variety are Wichita Red Seeded, 
Hutchinson Stripe and Red Russian.

KLECKLEY SWEET or ROCKY FORD. 87 
days. A fine, medium early watermelon 
of superb, luscious flavor. While the 
rind is perhaps too brittle and thin to 
admit of rough handling, yet it is most 
desirable to plant for home use or mar- 
ket. The melons are large and oblong 
in form, with dark green skin. Flesh 
is bright scarlet with solid heart, de- 
liciously crisp, sugary, and splendid in 
every way. Averages from 25 to 35 
pounds.

KLECKLEY SWEET NO. 6. Wilt resistant. 
89 days. An improved Kleckley Sweet 
type which has proven almost fully re- 
sistant to wilt. 
(Pkt. 5c) (oz. 10c) (%4 Ib. 30c) (lb. $1.10)

CULTURE: Watermelons do 
best in light, rich, well-drained 
sandy loam. Prepare hills about 
8 feet apart each way. Drop 8 
or 10 seeds in the hills, cover- 
ing about % inch deep. As 
soon as plants commence to run, 
thin out to three best plants in 
a hill. Be careful not to irri- 
gate too often. Watermelons are 
lovers of drought and frequent 
deep cultivation. A liberal 
amount of manure will increase 
the yield. For extra early mel- 
ons, use our Hotkaps. See page

deep red, firm, very sweet and tender.

pure green, very thin but tough.
