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 kas everything that a good and 
profitable melon shauld have, size, shape, quality 
and productivity. 
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 seed- 
ed Rattlesnake. 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 mm former years. 
About one half of I percent “throw back” to 
white melons. The balance are dark green, light 
green, striped or mottled. About thirty percent 
are round, about 50 percent or oblong, and the 
balance are Iong. By oblong, we mean Ionger 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—ex- 
cellent. 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

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 Mon- 
sters. A single vine often produces more than 250 
pounds of melon, and hundred pounders are not 
infrequent. 
Seed--large and brown black. Matures rather 
late. ee dark red. Rind, medium to thick. Qual- 
ity, fair. 
(Note—after these melons appear ripe, and cut 
red, it is advisable to Ieave them on the vines
