lvs. Hybrid Seed 

Here is the tabulated result of our little test plot. 
Look it over, and WHEN YOU GET READY TO BUY 
YOUR SEED—remember AIR LINE FARM, ROSS- 
VILLE, KANSAS. 
On the left—(ordinary seed) 3 long Tom Watsons (front 3 
left). Two of these melons were very odd shaped, and one was 
white centered and hard. 33 lIbs., 32 lbs. and 30 lbs. 
In the rear, left—2 Triumph melons, 30 Ibs. and 27 Ibs. 
Neither melon was comparably sweet, but both were good 
enough shape and were “‘red meated.” 
On the right—Kleckley Sweet, 33 lbs. and 29 lbs. Both 
meions were fine, sweet melons, fair shape and salable. However, 
both melons had badly separated hearts, which if ‘‘plugged into,” 
would have caused any buyer to have rejected the melon as not 
good. (In fairness, the Kleckly Sweet had an extra melon which 
weighed 18 lbs., that was a good melon, and did not have a 
separated heart.) 
Total weight—7 melons—215 Ibs. 
On the right—Air Line Hybrid. Eight melons—weights 58, 26, 
63, 54, 55, 51, 38, 42 Ibs. | 
Every one of these melons was a beautifully shaped, perfect 
melon in every respect. 
Total weight, 8 melons, 387 Ibs. 
ON JUST 3 HILLS, OUR AIR LINE HYBRIDS PRODUCED 
MORE THAN ENOUGH EXTRA POUNDS OF MELONS, AT 2c 
PER POUND, TO PLANT A WHOLE ACRE OF OUR HYBRID 
SEED. 
If you had anticipated planting just a small patch for your 
own use, why not get some extra seed, and raise some to sell? 
WATERMELONS PAY AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT PER ACRE, 
COMPARED TO ALMOST ANY OTHER FIELD CROP.
