589 RHODE ISLAND RED (New). Very Early, Superb Quality. 
89 days. Extra sweetness, real watermelon flavor, earliness and ideal 
size—these desirable features are all found in this outstanding variety 
developed by Dr. Desmond Dolan. It is a very early and productive 
type, only recently introduced and already highly popular with growers 
in all shorter-season areas. 
The attractively striped, oval fruit are medium sized, 8-12 lbs., and 
have a good firm rind to stand handling well. The bright pink-red flesh 
is smooth and fine textured, solid and crisp with comparatively few 
seeds which are dark brown to tan in color. In our opinion, one of the 
finest early watermelons yet developed.
