4 ANDREWS-BURRI PRICE LIST 
WATERMELON 

KANSAS KING—This is truly the 
king of all the watermelons with 
which we are acquainted. When its 
wonderful qualities are analyzed, 
the vote is usually 100 per cent. 
Foremost, it is large, often ranging 
60 pounds; it is early. One grower 
from Minnesota reports a sale of 
82 deliciously ripe melons averag- 
ing 28 pounds each, 79 days from 
planting, and we have yet to re- 
ceive a report of a melon with a 
hollow center from any of the 
growers, whether large or small. 
It is oval or round in shape; dis- 
tinctly striped; rich, red flesh, un- 
excelled in sweetness, with tan col- 
ored seeds. 
KING BEE—This melon, since it 
was introduced by us six years 
ago, has met with sales but a little 
short of a revelation to our grow- 
ers, aS its fine qualities have en- 
thused every watermelon lover who 
has become acquainted with its 
sugary, juicy, rich flavor. It is a 
smooth, round, oval-shaped melon 
with dark rind, and often weighing 
50 pounds. Its tough rind makes 
a very desirable shipping melon. It 
is a few days earlier than the 
Stone Mountain, has a vigorous 
vine and is a heavy yielder; free 
from hollow center when ripe, seeds 
are white. 
ATH OF JULY — The earliest 
melon of which we are acquainted, 
as the following description will 
show. It is seemingly of Russian 


origin and first offered to American 
growers by the Minnesota State 
Experiment Station. We make no 
claims for its development or 
origin. 
A watermelon that ripens as 
early as nine or ten weeks from 
planting—that is remarkably sweet 
and high in quality—that possesses 
great market appeal—is among the 
newer introductions by the Minne- 
sota Experiment Station. 
MOUNTAIN HOOSIER — One of 
the new varieties of Stone Moun- 
tain type, only darker rind, red 
meat and more uniform. Not so 
rough. White seed, 35 to 60 pounds. 
Good shipper and lots of merit. 
FLORIDA GIANT, OKLAHOMA 
CHIEF or CLARA LEE—A large, 
round melon with a black-green, 
shiny, glossy rind. Has no stripe, 
just solid, smooth black-green. Its 
flesh is blood red, tender and very 
sweet. Grayish black seeds that are 
rather large. Melons almost as 
large as Jumbo Triumph, many as 
large as 70 and 80 pounds, and 
under very favorable conditions 
they will grow to 100 pounds. The ~ 
rind is very thin and tough and 
they can be hauled without dam- 
age any distance that any melon 
can be hauled. They are hardy and 
resist drouth better than any ex- 
cept Kansas King. They ripen 
along with Tom Watson and other 
mid-season melons.
