Congo Watermelon—A nice specimen held by Johnny Burrell 
Congo 90 days. Released by the U. S. D. A. at 
Charleston, S. C. and has become a leading shipping 
sort. Congo resembles Garrison (Coker, Darlington) generally in 
shape, size, and quality. It has a darker green stripe and is darker 
in color than these. The rind is hard and shipments arrive with 
no more breakage than Cannonball and generally more dependable 
quality. While not immune to disease it appears less susceptible 
to Anthracnose than Cannonball and Garrison; only slightly re- 
sistant to fusarium. The seed is of our own growing (see illustra- 
tion above). Weight 30 to 35 lbs. The variety is well established, 
uniform and of decided merit.

Garrison 85 days. Too tender and delicate for shipment or 
long hauls, hence is for home garden and local 
market. Beautiful and showy, symmetrical in shape, and of large 
size. It is long with irregular dark green stripes alternating with 
ivory colored stripes lightly veined with fine light green; similar 
to Darlington and Dude Creek. Flesh brilliant red, very tender and 
melting, sweet and luscious, Said to be most easily digested of all 
Watermelons. Less susceptible to Anthracnose than most varie- 
ties, prolific bearer, and immune to sunburn. (Illustrated page 44).
