Darlington Watermelon 
Darlington Watermelon

breeder in South Carolina from a mutation found in a 
field of Garrison melons. It is striped like the Garrison,

ping, but it should prove ideal for the home garden or 
local market. Be sure and plant some, and you will 
say it is the best melon you ever ate. The seed does 
not fill out as in other melons, and consequently the 
germination averages lower. 35 to 45 lbs. -Pkt., 15c; oz.,
