Wilt Resistant Fairfax (Certified) 
Also Resistant to Anthracnose 
Fairfax, offered the first 
time in 1953, was developed 
by the U. 8S. Department of 
Agriculture. It is the first 
variety ever introduced that 
is both wilt resistant and an- 
thracnose resistant. 
Melons are like Garrison 
in shape and color, with a 
harder rind, and _ sharper 
contrast in the two shades 
of green. White seeds with 
black tips. Ripens with Gar- 
rison, and slightly earlier 
than Congo. It seems free 
of hollow heart. The eating 
quality is excellent. 
Shipping tests conducted

Frank Adkins is proud of his watermelon crop grown from Twilley’s Certified Seed. damage than the average 
for other long melons. Growers have been impressed by its productivity and dependable qualities. We 
are sure you will like Fairfax. The flesh has the solidiness of Congo, and all growers wanting a disease re- 
sistant variety will certainly want to give Fairfax a trial. It grows to large size, and shows up well in the 
large markets and at roadside stands.

New Hampshire Midget tee Box 
The Cantaloupe Size Watermelon 
The leading “Ice Box’ watermelon over most of the 
country today. It is making real money for the growers 
in my section, one of the large producing areas in Ameri- 
ca. Growers truck New Hampshire Midget to the large 
city markets in bushel hampers, or crates. And it is tak- 
ing like “hot cakes’ at road side markets. 
Ripens two weeks earlier than the large varieties, in 
about 70 days. Attractive, green striped color. Just the 
size for the housewife and small children to pick up and 
take home. Can be planted as close as cantaloupes; sets 
heavily, so under good conditions is a very heavy yielder. 
Small, black seeds. Usually listed as growing about six 
by five inches in size, but with us many melons grow very 
much larger. Eats good. Looks attractive on the market 
stand. Just one word of advice about this variety; pick 
just as soon as ripe; and don't keep unsold melons on 
your market stand longer than two or three days.
