OUR WATERMELON SEED | 
@ We have been growing Watermelon Seed since 1896 and while we 
grow a large acreage at the present time practically all of it goes direct 
to planters, many of whom plant from 20 to 100 acres or more each. 
We have watched the priricipal growing sections and the markets to 
know the varieties most in demand and those of the highest quality. 
Nearly all the old varieties have been dropped and in their places we 
offer new improved sorts of better quality, larger and better shippers. 
All of these are from critically selected stock seeds and each is grown 
well separated from any other variety to prevent mixing. 
Our 1904 catalog listed the popular varieties of that day. Kleckley 
Sweet is the only one of these listed in this catalog. It is one of the 
st for local market and home garden. Dixie Queen and Florida Giant 
Melon seem to be taking the place of Stone Mountain in the large, 
round shipping class. Western shippers prefer Klondike. Sugar content 
usually averages 3% to 4% more than such melons as Kleckley Sweet. 
Oregon uses the Striped Klondike a great deal and California the Early 
Small Black Seeded type and Brown Seeded. Southern growers should 
try Burrell’s Klondike; this is a large square ended strain of excellent 
quality. Burrell’s Grey and Burrell’s Red Heart Watson will please 
shippers requiring large, oblong shape melons. MBurrell’s Grey is the 
best of the grey rind melons, and in our trials we have as yet found 
no strain of Tom Watson equal to our Red Heart Watson. 



Burrell’s Grey is popular in the Eastern states as well as in 
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. 
Burrell's Grey 95 days. So far superior to other long grey 
melons that we have dropped Irish Grey, Thur- 
mond and others from our list. This is of our own development and 
introduction. Fruits large, weighing, as a rule, 40 to 45 pounds; 
oblong and full as shown in illustration. Color light greyish green. 
Rind extremely hard and tough, making it a good shipper. Flesh 
firm, stringless, bright red and eating quality about as good as pos- 
sible in a long distance shipping melon.

Burrell's Red Heart Watson 2.00%. Ty cood. laree 
melons of the Tom Watson type will be pleased with this. A fine 
grained, deep red fleshed, entirely stringless and very sweet melon. 
There was not a white heart or an off-melon in our fields. Rind is 
very tough and darker green than the older strains of Watson. 
Under proper growing conditions will often average 40 pounds.
