Dixie Queen melon made a hit from the start, and in addi-

appearance commands instant attention and ready sale. Its flavor 
and quality bring repeat customers. . Fruits almost round, light 
green veined with dark-green; rind tough. Flesh rich scarlet, 
sweet and stringless. Ordinary size about 35 pounds, but will grow 
to as large as 60 pounds. Seeds small and white. A shy seeding 
variety, and the price higher than some. In saving our stock 
seed, we noted in one lot that it required 500 mellons averaging 
40 pounds each to make 17 pounds of seeds.
