Bill Burrell and Our Texas Giant Strain of Watermelon. 
Florida Giant (Cannon Ball) 9% days. A vigorous 
very productive melon 
popular throughout the South for long distance shipping. Fruits 
very dark green, large, nearly round; flesh firm, red and of ex- 
cellent quality, although slightly coarser than Dixie Queen. More 
acres of this variety are grown than any other. 
Our seed of this has given such satisfaction that we have been 
unable to grow enough to supply the demand. This is the Texas 
Giant strain.

PART OF A LETTER FROM AGRA, OKLAHOMA—“‘Since you 
are lovers of soil and things that come from the soil; and also 
family life, I thought you might be interested in the enclosed pic- 
tures and clippings. I have been a truck farmer for many years 
and have ordered your seeds for a long time. The seeds for the 
crops in these pictures all came from D. V. Burrell Seed Growers 
Co.”’ (The pictures showed a pair of bright lads and a fine display 
of produce. Several clippings are summed up in the headline and 
first paragraph of one which we quote:) “Twins Place Nation’s 
Third Buddy and Billy Brixey, representing Oklahoma in the 
National Junior Vegetable Growers demonstration contest, held in 
Washington, D.C., December 11-15, were judged third place in the 
nation.’”’ We congratulate these boys and their parents for the 
fine showing and know Oklahoma is proud of them all.
