TETRA Fi HYBRID WATERMELON No. 1 
F; Hybrid between two tetraploid parents in ice box size, weighing about 
7-8 Ibs. Round, thin, but rather: tough rinded which is light green striped 
darker green. The flesh is bright rose and is extremely sweet (13% sugar 
content) and has fine texture. It has only a few seed, not more than 30-50 
per fruit. 
Very early maturing which enables them to grow even in the Northern 
States. The important advantage of this new melon is the high resistancy 
against all kinds of diseases, especially against anthracnose.

The Seedless Watermelon 
The fruit of real good Seedless 
Watermelon has only a trace of 
seed just like those of young cucum- 
bers. Anybody can eat whole 
inside without feeling any seed. We 
also found out that when one gets 
used to eating Seedless Watermelon 
he does not feel like eating ordinary 
Seedy Watermelon. 
Inferior strain of Seedless Wa- 
termelon has too distinct seed coat, 
often colored. Such cannot be called

seedless though the seed has no inside. 
We have done extensive breeding 
so as to produce only high quality 
strains, which have the most unde- 
veloped seed coat, combined with 
high grade eating quality. 
Another advantage of Seedless 
Watermelon (Triploid Watermelon) 
is its high disease resistant, vigorous 
growing habit commonly noticed in 
F, Hybrid strains. Seedless Water- 
melon is actually an Fj Hybrid. A 
hybrid between Tetraploid and Dip- 
loid. On going over our trial ground we found out the most resistant vine is 
the Tetraploid, then Triploid (Seedless Vine), ordinary diploid (Common 
Watermelon) vine runs out first. It is so conspicuous that anybody who
