New 80 Day Melon. It Will Produce Earlier and Outyield Most Other 
Varieties, Leading Commercial Melon Today and an Excellent Home 
Gardén Variety. 
A sensational Watermelon of outstanding merit which has become one of the most 
popular for the market grower and the home gardener. Under proper methods of cul- 
tivation, melons weighing 50 lbs. or more are not unusual. The sparkling crisp red 
flesh is deliciously sweet clear to the rind. It is solid, with very few small white seeds. 
The outer skin is light green, striped and blotched with dark green, rather tough and 
does not bruise easily. A good shipping melon because of the texture of the skin and 
the strength of the rind. It will travel to distant markets and arrive in perfect con- 
dition. Produces sturdy, strong vines that carry a large number of melons—it will 
produce earlier and outyield most other varieties. It has all the good qualities de- 
manded by commercial growers and is perfectly adapted to the smaller home-garden.
