Dixie Queen 
HE correct name for this melon is DIXIE 
QUEEN, it is known in some sections as 
Cuban Queen, but is confusing with the 
old variety by same name which has large black 
seed and rather course flesh. Dixie Queen is 
an enormous yielder, vines are of vigorous 
growth, melons in form are round to oval, skin 
striped light and dark green, fruits are of good 
size, flesh bright red, crisp and splendid quali- 
ty, good shipper, and sell to good advantage, 
seeds small white, and very few in each melon, 
one pound of Dixie Queen seed will plant as 
much ground as two pounds of Stone Mountain 
or other large type seed, medium early, and 
is a very satisfactory melon with all who have 
srown it for market. 85 days: 30 pounds.
