THE MILES WATERMELON 
Variety No. 54 
(A New Wilt-Resistant Variety) 
This is our first year to grow this new melon 
which was released last year. It is a cross be- 
tween Dixie Queen (susceptible) and Klondike R-7 
(resistant). It was developed by Mississippi Ex- 
periment Station and West Tennessee Station. Dr. 
L. E. Miles was in charge of the breeding work 
in the state of Mississippi and the variety has been 
named for him. The seeds are white and about 
the size of those of the Dixie Queen (approximately 
400 per ounce). Flesh bright-red with smooth tex- 
ture, no white or hard hearts, and the flavor is

excellent. The rind is bright-green, with somewhat 
darker green stripes and occasional almost green- 
ish cream mottling and is thin and tough and ap- 
parently will stand shipping if care is exercised 
in handling. Fruits are oblong, similar to Florida 
Giant variety. Under favorable conditions they 
will average from 20 to 43 pounds. If large size is 
desired pruning may be necessary since the va- 
riety is very prolific. It has the same ripening 
season as the Dixie Queen and has an exception- 
ally high sugar content. 
Don't fail to try a few of these seeds. See price
