WATERMELON 
Blacklee (Wilt Resistant 
98 days. Said to be superior to * 



sweetness and flavor. The rind 
is toughest of any melon having 
good eating quality; texture of 
rind is so close it will reach dis- 
tant markets in perfect edible 
condition. Fruits are dark 
green, long-oval, smooth, and 
symmetrical. Melons very heavy 
for their size and when cut 
rarely show any cavities. This 
solid characteristic together 
with tough rind enables it to 
stand long hauls and rough han- 
dling. The flesh is rich red al- 
most to the outer skin, and the 
black seed present a_ striking 
contrast of ‘colors when cut. 
Blacklee is practically immune 
to Watermelon Wilt, very pro- 
lific, and as its quality is so 
much better than most of the 
shipping melons, it will prob- 
ably become one of the most 
popular. The' vine often sets 
more fruits than it can develop 
to a large size. For this rea- 
son we suggest thinning all but 
two melons from each vine and 
wider planting. Well grown 
will weigh up to 40 pounds or 
more; but unthinned may aver- 
age only about 30 pounds. 
This is of our own growing 
here in the Rocky Ford district.
