‘Your A 1 Melon was greatly appreciated by my employer. From 6 plants grown in a house I cut 
50 beautiful fruits, some turning the scale at 44 pounds. The flavour was excellent.’—Mr. E. FAULKNER, 
The Gardens, Gayton House. 
Sutton’s King George Melon. a very distinct Scarlet-fleshed Melon, skin buff 
yellow, finely and evenly netted, presenting a remarkably handsome appearance. Flesh of 
exceptional thickness, surpassing that of other varieties, and as a consequence the seed 
cavity is extremely small. The fruits often attain a weight of 5 to 8 lbs., and the flavour of 
a well-ripened specimen is so rich that it cannot fail to be highly appreciated. Plant 
unusually strong, short-jointed in habit, with considerable foliage. Very suitable for 
cultivation under slightly cooler treatment than is necessary for many Melons. (///ustrated)
