THE NEW DARLINGTON 
WATERMELON 
Color :— 
Irregular dark green stripes alternating 
with ivory colored stripes lightly veined with 
fine light green, making a greenish white 
stripe, contrasting with the dark green. 
DARLINGTON has won top honors 
wherever introduced, as the choicest of all 
Watermelons for local markets and the 
“home patch.” It is too tender and delicate 
for shipment or long hauls. 
Beautiful and showy, symetrical in shape, 
and of large size, DARLINGTON commands 
attention wherever seen. 
Flesh of DARLINGTON is brilliant red, 
very tender and melting, almost entirely de- 
void of fibrous matter, wonderfully sweet 
and luscious, with an enticing flavor and 
appetizing aroma when cut. It is said to be 
the most easily digested of all Watermelons, 
and is therefore especially desirable for 
young children. 
Seeds are few in number as compared 
with most varieties, and are very light in 
weight; almost white with occasional brown- 
ish smears. 
Our planting Stocks are first years in- 
crease from introducers selected Stocks, 
which come absolutely true. 
With us DARLINGTON has proven less 
susceptible to Anthrachnose than most 
varieties, a prolific bearer, and practically 
immune to sun-burn. 
We unhesitatingly recommend Darl- 
ington as the best melon ever developed 
for home and local markets. 
Be sure that you get genuine seed pro- 
duced from originators stocks. 
DARLINGTON, in external appearance, 
is almost identical with Garrison, Dude 
Creek, and certain other local types. But 
only in external appearance is there any 
similarity. Be sure to get the genuine!
