Our Air Line Hybrid 
This is our feature watermelon. We originated it, 
and were proud enough of it, to give it our name. 
We think it is the prize No. 1 melon of the melon 
world. It has everything that a good and profitable 
melon should have, size, shape, quality and produc- 
tivity. 
Based on the good old black seeded Glozier to which 
was added the white seeded Irish Gray, the brown 
seeded Tom Watson and the white seeded Rattle- 
snake. We are now mingling a bit of Paragon, which 
causes some of the seed to be very small, and causes 
all of the seed to be some smaller than in former years. 
About one half of 1 percent “throw back” to white 
melons. The balance are dark green, light green, 
striped or mottled. About thirty percent are round, 
about 50 percent are oblong, and the balance are long. 
By oblong, we mean longer than they are round,—but 
very perfect in shape, as they do not vary in size on 
either end. 
Seed—all colors. Shape—perfect. Quality—excellent. 
Flesh—very dark red. Rind—very thin but tough 
enough to stand severe shipping. Matures—very early, 
often 10 days before most standard melons. 
No Air Line Hybrid seed is saved from any melon 
under 40 pounds. Average weight—30 to 80 pounds.

Approximately 4500 seeds to the lb. 
Hybrid Paragon 
This is our latest hybrid, and is perhaps our finest 
flavored melon, but not so large nor as productive as 
our Air Line Hybrid. The seed is all saved from 
melons from 30 to 60 pounds in weight. 
Based on the apple seeded Paragon, we added 
Glozier to give it size and to improve its shape. Later 
we added Irish Gray to stabilize its quality. Quality 
alone considered, it is a marvelous melon. 
Matures early. Flesh—deep red. Seed—all colors, 
and very small,—almost apple-seeded. Melons are 
about evenly divided between round and long. 
Approximately 8000 seeds to the pound. 
Because of the fact that these seeds are so small 
that it takes nearly a dozen melons te produce a 
pound of seed, we do not price this seed by the pound. 
However, we include 75 Hybrid Paragon seeds in 
every complete Air Line Seed Packet. 
The Hybrid Jumbo 
We include 75 seeds of this monster melon, as nearly 
everyone wants to grow a few “whoppers.” This is 
a very imperfect hybrid and many will throw back 
to pure Jumbo,—the King of the Monsters. A single 
vine often produces more than 250 pounds of melon,
