92 days. Everyone knows and likes Dixie Queen, the attractively striped watermelons

Honey Cream 
Wonderful sweet yellow flesh. 
587 SEEDLESS WATERMELON. Extra Sweet and Delicious. 
90 days. Almost everyone has said “I wish they’d develop a seedless 
watermelon’’ and now Japanese hybridizers have done it! By cross- 
ing two genetically distinct types, they produce a vigorous hybrid 
that is practically seed-free. The fruit are of particularly fine type, 
small to medium in size, early to ripen and of excellent quality. The 
deep bright red flesh is extra sweet and far better to eat than most 
watermelons. The fruit do contain some tiny undeveloped seed coats, 
not noticeable in eating, and an occasional seed, but mostly they are 
just solid crisp red flesh all through. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: These seeds germinate slowly and should be started 
indoors with high temperature (80° or over). Plant alongside some 
regular watermelons for pollination. (Extra seeds are furnished free 
for this purpose.) Pkt. 10 seeds 75c; 50 seeds $3.00. 
SEEDLESS WATERMELON PLANTS—Ready after June 5th. (1 plant 
of another kind is included with each five Seedless for pollination)— 
6 plants $1.90; 12 plants $3.50 postpaid. Not sent beyond third 
zone. See also plant collections on page 74. 
New Hampshire Midget 
586 NEW HAMPSHIRE MIDGET (New.) Extremely Early. 
82 days. The shortest seasons are enough to ripen this tiny “‘Icebox’’ 
watermelon. Even in northern New England the small vigorous vines 
will produce large numbers of fruit. 
Developed by Dr. A. F. Yeager in New Hampshire, it is much 
superior to other so-called ‘‘midgets’’ or “icebox’’ types. The fruit 
are oval shaped, light mottled green in color with a thin rind and are 
only 5 or 6 inches in diameter. The flesh is solid and sweet—surprisingly 
good for such an early variety. Its earliness and productivity have 
made this All-America Winner a great success with northern growers. 
Pkt. 20c; 144 Oz. 35c; Oz. 65c; 144 Lb. $1.55; 44 Lb. $2.50.
