THE DESERT KING—Variety No. 1 
THEY POSITIVELY WILL NOT SUNBURN 
We have named this new melon the Desert King 
because of its remarkable ability to grow to per- 
fection regardless of deficient rainfall. It seems to 
make little difference whether it rains or not. Once 
the plants are out of the ground it goes right on 
growing. It is round to slightly oblong. Its rind is 
a light pea green color. The flesh is deep rich 
golden yellow with jet black seeds. It is very sweet 
and tender inside. Its rind is medium thin and 
tough enough to stand hauling well. It is a medium 
late variety, coming along with the Florida Giant 
about eighty days after planting. It has the ability 
to lie on the vine a month or so after ripening and 
still hold its good qualities and remain free from 
sunburn. See price sheet for prices. LIBERAL 
PACKAGE, ANY VARIETY, 25c. 
YELLOW FLESH BLACK DIAMOND—Variety No. 51 
This is a new watermelon exactly like the red 
flesh Black Diamond, as to shape and size, in fact 
you cannot tell them apart until you cut one and 
find the tenderest, sweetest, most delicious yellow 
flesh you have ever eaten; the seeds are grayish 
black and rather small; the rind is very thin and 
tough and can be hauled or shipped any distance. 
It is a mid-season melon, with a smooth, shiny,

glossy black green rind. They will grow to sixty 
and seventy pounds under favorable conditions. 
There will be about one half of one per cent cut 
slightly pink, due to the type not being firmly es- 
tablished, which is not enough to cause complaint. 
When ordering be certain to give the VARIETY 
NO. 51, so that the order will not become confused 
with the red variety. See price sheet for prices.
