279. Blacklee Wilt-Resistant 
(90 Days). Blacklee was de- 
Watermelon veloped by Dr. M. N. Walker 
at the Florida Experiment Station. It is a 
cross of Leesburg and Hawkesbury, both 
highly resistant to fusarium wilt, a disease 
that has made it impossible to grow com- 
mercial varieties on land that is wilt in- 
fested. Blacklee is highly resistant to this 
disease and can be safely planted on land that 
has previously grown watermelons, and with- 
out serious damage by the disease. 
Another important characteristic of Black- 
lee is its freedom from white hearts. In this 
respect it is like Leesburg, one of its parents,

A Florida grower says: Blacklee is the best wilt-resistant melon of them all; practically 
100 per cent immune to wilt, and in quality ranks with the best. The dark green rind is about 
half an inch thick; the flesh deep rich red; seeds black. The rind is very tough, making it ex- 
cellent for shipping; after pulling it keeps in fine condition longer than other melons; attains 
a weight up to 50 lbs. To have extra large melons, it is sometimes necessary to remove some 
young fruits as the vines are so vigorous and prolific they have a tendency to produce so 
many the average size is reduced.

(90 Days). Striped like a Georgia Rat- ribbed and heavily netted; green fleshed, thick meated and of most delicious spicy flavor. When 
tlesnake but distinctly different, being marketed they command the highest prices. For several years we have been unable to supply 
about twice as long as thick, and un- the demand for this fine melon. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 30c; 4% Ib. 85c; Ib. $3.00; 2-lb. lots $2.75. per lb.;

is sweeter and more delicate. A Flo- : GSA eee 
rida melon grower says: “It is among 
the best, if not the very best melon for home 
gardens and local markets.’ They often at- 
tain up to 75 lbs. in weight. The flesh is bril- 
liant red, tender, luscious, very sweet and 
‘has a distinctly delicious flavor. Where Gar- 
rison is best known it is preferred to all other 
melons for home gardens and nearby mar- 
kets. Pkt. 15c; oz. 30c; % Ib. 85c; lb. $3.00. 
Supply is limited. 
232. Bibb Lettuce (69 Days). A con- 
noisseur writes: “You 
haven’t tasted real lettuce until you have 
eaten Bibb.’ The heads are medium in size 
| with dark green outer leaves, the hearts 
| bleaching to a rich golden green. Unusually 
crisp and tender and of a distinct flavor. A 
fine lettuce for family gardens and high class 
hotels and restaurant trade. Plant it early

146. Carolina Header Collard 
Hard Heading—Short Stemmed— 
Hardiest of All Collards 
A collard that heads up like a cabbage, yet is 
hardy enough to stand more severe winters 
than any collard we know. It makes a nice 
sized solid head, with just enough bottom 
leaves to protect it. The stalk is very short, 
the head is firm, the slightly savoyed leaves 
are spaced close together; it is a late seeder. 
In flavor we do not believe any collard can 
compare with it. You can grow it on land so 
poor that it would not produce a crop of cab- 
bage. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; %4 lb. 70c; 1b. $2.50; 
2-lb. lots $2.35; 5-lb. lots $2.20 per lb.; 10-Ib. 
lots $2.10 per lb., postpaid. 

Carolina Header Collard 
open pollinated varieties, are more uniform and 
better yielders, the ears are better filled. More 
even in size and shape and usually bear two 
ears to the stalk. They have a stronger root 
growth, the stalks are sturdier and more disease 
resistant. Plant Golden Cross Bantam for early, 
Hybrid Stowell’s Evergreen for main crop.
