The Blacklee (Wilt Resistant) watermelon 
Blacklee (Wilt Resistant] 28 days. Said to be superior 
o all other shipping melons 
in sweetness and flavor. The rind is doteneet of any melon having 
good eating quality; texture of rind is so close it will reach distant 
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 
handling. The flesh is rich red almost to the outer skin, and the 
black seed presents a striking contrast of colors when cut. Blacklee 
is practically immune to Watermelon Wilt, very prolific, and as 
its quality is so much better than most of the shipping melons, it 
will probably become one of the most popular. The vine often sets 
more fruits than it can develop to a large size. For this reason 
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 average only about 30 pounds. 
This is of our own growing here in the Rocky Ford district.

Burrell's Grey melons that we have dropped Irish Grey, 
Thurmond and others from our list. This is of our own develop- 
ment and introduction. Fruits large, weighing, as a rule, 40 to 45 
pounds; oblong and full. Color light greyish green. Rind ex- 
tremely hard and tough, making it a good shipper. Flesh firm, 
stringless, bright red and eating quality about as pope as possible 
in a long ‘distance shipping melon.
