THE MILES WATERMELON (Wilt Resistant)—Variety No. 54 
This is our third year to grow The Miles Mel- 
on, developed especially for its resistance to Fu- 
sarium Wilt, and after this fourth crop which 
was planted on land badly infested with wilt, with 
not one vine showing any signs of the disease we 
do not hesitate to recommend it to growers who 
have experienced difficulty in raising watermel- 
ons on their farms because of wilt and who want 
a high quality variety. This melon is oblong, very 
similar to the Florida Giant in shape. The rind is 
a bright green, with a somewhat darker green 
stripe and occasional almost greenish cream mot- 
tling, is thin, tough and apparently will stand ship- 
ping if care is exercised in handling. The flesh is 
bright-red with a smooth texture and an excellent 
flavor being very high in sugar content. Under 
favorable conditions and careful pruning they will 
grow up to 45 pounds each, however, the uniform 
average of this melon is 20 to 30 pounds. It has 
the same ripening season as the Dixie Queen and 
the seeds are very similar both in size and color. 
Its high quality, general adaptability to growing 
conditions and resistance to Fusarium Wilt lead 
us to urge all growers to try a few of these seeds 
this year. Y% lb. $1.05; ¥% lb. $1.90; % lb. $2.80; 1 
Ib. $3.50. All plus postage. LIBERAL PACKAGE, 
ANY VARIETY, 25c.
