Twilley’s 
Wilt Resistant Dixie Queen 
Watermelon 


An exeellent crop of Twilley’s Wilt Resistant Dixie Queen grown on land so severely 
infested with wilt that the previous crop was a complete failure. This grower did not 
lose a plant of Wilt Resistant Dixie Queen-in the entire field. 
WILT We offered this variety for the first time last season. Every grower re- 
RESISTANCE ported that he did not lose any plants from wilt when planting Twilley’s 
Wilt Resistant Dixie Queen. The grower whose photo appears here said, 
‘T wanted to give your Wilt Resistant Dixie Queen a good test, so I planted a field in which 
I have not been able to grow watermelons for many years. I did not lose a plant in the entire 
field, and the melon buyers said that my crop ran the most uniform in size of any they noticed 
the past season”. 
HIGH YIELD The fact that this is a wilt resistant strain insures a good yield on most 
soils that are adapted to melon growing. Careful selection has been 
made for a high yielding strain, and under good conditions this variety will yield exceptional- 
ly well. We believe that it withstands drought better than the ordinary strain of Dixie 
Queen. 
UNIFORMITY One of the qualities that our growers like about Twilley’s Wilt Resistant 
Dixie Queen is the great uniformity of the melons. All of us know that 
there are many conditions in the same field that make melons vary in size, but under average 
good conditions you will find this variety to produce melons so uniform that they are very easy 
to grade and load. Naturally, the market appearance is improved by such uniformity. A 
southern grower reported ‘My commission man said-the melons I grew from Twilley’s Wilt 
Resistant Dixie Queen were the finest that came on the Washington market.”
