A WATERMELON OF DISTINCTION 

Early Kansas Watermelon 
Introduced in 1934 for the first time a wonderful NEW WATER- 
MELON, Early Kansas. Results from trials in many parts of the country 
were highly satisfactory, proving beyond a doubt that this is the largest 
of all early melons, ten days or more earlier to ripen than Watson. The 
Early Kansas has finest texture, sweet flavor and melting, bright red 
meat, solid to the rind. Nearly round in form, light green with broad 
bands of wavy stripes, growing 30 to 60 pound melons, with some speci- 
mens up to 80 pounds, seed red but dry to buff color and very few seed. 
It is a very robust grower, heavy deep rooting vines assure a heavy erop 
per, the productiveness is equal to or better than any other melon; unde: 
normal conditions 800 to 1,000 melons per acre weighing 30 pounds each 
is not surprising and every melon a good one, no white or stringy hearts. 
and a wonderful shipper. IT SHOULD MAKE A PROFIT TO A GROW- 
ER UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS OTHER VARIETIES MAY 
SHOW A LOSS. Certainly is worth a trial.
