565 Harvest Queen (New) (See Front Cover Photo.) Harris’ New Market and Shipping Melon 
We proudly introduce a new melon of our own breeding—the only fusarium resistant Market 
King or Queen of Colorado type yet developed. It is slightly earlier with the same even size 
and attractive oval shape, perfect for crating. The hard blue-grey rind ripens to golden yellow 
and is covered with the ropy net that means quality. The deep orange, extra thick flesh is firm 
and holds up well after picking and the flavor and sweetness are supreme. 
Harvest Queen has already won the highest praise from Allen Hand, Greenwich, N. Y., one 
of the State’s most expert growers. Both on his farm and in our seed crops, Mr. Hand pro- 
nounced it a top quality melon of ideal type. See prices below. 
560 Delicious 51 (New) —Large Early Fruit—Fusarium Resistant. 
Dr. H. M. Munger of Cornell has combined the fine qualities of our famous Delicious melon— 
earliness, good size and sweet flavor—with fusarium wilt resistance in this splendid new strain. 
It ripens 7 to 10 days before Iroquois and produces large crops of round, finely netted, moder- 
ately ribbed fruit, ideal for roadside stands and local trade. The sweet, juicy orange flesh is 
quite thick for an early variety. Best for first crop and for short season areas. See prices below. 
569 Iroquois 
The Leading Variety for the Northeast 
For markets where the larger sized melons 
are preferred, Iroquois is ideal. It is a Bender 
type, resistant to fusarium wilt, and its de- 
licious flavor, thick flesh and fine appearance 
have made it universally popular. 
The fruits are medium-large, round to oval 
in shape with prominent ribs and good net- 
ting; the rind is tough and holds up well in 
handling and shipping. The fine textured, 
thick flesh is deep orange with consistently 
high flavor and sweetness. It ripens in mid- 
season and is very prolific. See prices below. 
DELICIOUS 51 
570 Market King 
A Shipper of Top Quality 
Our own strain of Queen of Colorado type, 
Market King is outstanding for uniformly fine 
shape and quality. It is a vigorous, medium- 
late variety, highly popular for market and 
shipping, and a prolific bearer where seasons 
are fairly long. The tough rind is blue-grey 
turning to yellow, with heavy netting and 
shallow ribs. The medium-sized oval fruit 
have a very small seed cavity and the flesh is 
firm, deep orange, fine-grained and sweet 
with wonderful flavor. See prices below.

589 Rhode Island Red (New) —Best Early Red Fleshed Variety for the North. 
Dr. Desmond Dolan of Rhode Island created this combination of the wonderful sweetness of 
Honey Cream with the fine flavor and handling qualities of Dixie Queen. Early and productive, 
it has handsomely striped, oval fruit of ideal size—8 to 12 lbs. The rind is tough and the bright 
pink-red flesh is smooth, firm and crisp with practically no interior cracking. 
Besides its earliness, its best feature is its deliciously sweet, real watermelon flavor, far 
better than most shipped-in melons. First distributed by us last year, Rhode Island Red is 
already widely grown. Seeds dark brown to tan. See prices below.
