OUR WATERMELON SEED 
® We have been growing Watermelon Seed since 1896 and while we 
srow 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 principal 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 catalogue listed the popular varieties of that day. Kleckley 
Sweet is the only one of these listed in this catalogue. The new Dar- 
lington is one of the best for local market and home garden. Florida 
Giant (Texas Giant) is now the most popular shipping melon with 
southern growers. Dixie Queen is being used to some extent, but use of 
Blacklee is increasing rapidly. Western shippers prefer Klondike. 
Oregon uses the Striped Klondike Blue Ribbon and California, the Early 
Black Seeded type. Burrell’s Grey is the best of the grey rind melons 
and we have not yet found a strain of Watson equal to.our Red 
Heart Watson. 

Burrell’s Grey is popular in the Eastern states as well as in 
\ ; Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. 
r 95 days. So far superior to other long grey 
Burrell 3 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.
