PEDIGREED THESE 
HAWKSBURY, PURDUE STRAIN: Similar to, but an im— 
provement on the older HAWKSBURY, this Fusarium Wilt 
resistant melon will become important in Watermelon 
production wherever wilt presents a problem. Fruits 
taper slightly at the ends. Its thin rind is sur— 
prisingly tough. A good shipper. Outside color is 
light green with veining of darker green. Seeds 
dark brown. Red flesh is of excellent quality. It 
matures in 85 days, to a weight of 30 to 35 pounds. 
ICE CREAM (PEERLESS): A home garden type, its thin 
rind is bright green with darker green veining. A 
very good eating melon with crisp, sweet and bright 
red flesh. Seeds medium size and white. As with 
all of our production, we grow this variety ina 
well isolated valley between two mountain ranges. 
Maximum isolation from other varieties is possible 
and is one of the factors responsible for the fine 
quality of our strains. 
IRISH GREY is an excellent shipping type and a very 
popular variety with us. Our strain is unusually 
sweet, with a sugar content averaging well above 
10%. Rind is tough, light green with dark green 
veining. Flesh is brilliant red and without fibrous 
material. Delicious. White seeds. Vine is a vigo- 
rous, strong grower and heavy tonnages are regularly 
harvested. Matures in 88 days to a size of 10 X 22 
inches and weights between 30 and 35 pounds. 
KING & QUEEN WINTER: Unique because, when properly 
stored, it remains deliciously edible for several 
months. This is a very popular variety with us. Is 
very light green, with faint and irregular darker 
green stripes. A good eating melon of nice quality. 
Britliant'red flesh contrasts nicely with small, 
black seeds. A prolific producer, it is medium— 
early, maturing its crop within 82 days. Melons 
weigh about 12 pounds and are nearly round, meas— 
uring 9 X 9% inches. 
KLECKLEY SWEET NO. 6 iS a wilt resistant strain, 
similar inother respects to IMPROVED KLECKLEY SWEET.

recommend this resistant strain; in other cases the 
regular strain is quite satisfactory. A standard 
home garden and market type. Dark green unblemished 
rind; bright red, crisp but tender flesh, delicious. 
White seeds. Matures in 86 days to a weight of 30 
to 35 pounds. Size approximately 22 X 12 inches.
