green-striped, 8-pound fruit has a rind | 
heavy enough for handling. The first fruits 
may have some soft, edible seeds; the next 
picking should be completely seedless. For 
pollinating purposes, we suggest that one 
plant in twenty be of another variety of 
Watermelon. Illustrated on front cover.

500 seeds $10; 1000 seeds $18
