Congo seems a magic word in watermelon 
circles. No other watermelon has jumped 
into prominence so fast. 
It is, from our experience, the most sought 
after watermelon in the U. S. even sur- 
passing the demand for Black Diamond. 
While it is not the perfect watermelon, it 
nevertheless has many advantages over 
all other shipping types in existence 
today. 
It has a very tough rind, a fiery red heart, 
good eating quality, is prolific, reaches 
large size and ships well. It is also re- 
sistant to Anthracnose—the first shipping 
variety on the market with resistance to 
Anthracnose.

Another new watermelon with consider- 
able virtue from a shipping standpoint is 
IRONSIDES. This variety is resistant to 
Fusarium wilt, is of excellent quality and 
reaches good size. Has just been released 
by U.S. D.A.
