This photo was made in one of our 1954 seed fields. Twilley’s Certified Florida Giant Produces Large Attractive Melons. 
Note This Pile of Melons Is Just What Buyers Want In Good Shape and Uniform Size. 
This is the leading melon in most of the large 
growing sections because of its ability to produce 
exceptionally heavy yields of choice melons. 
The shape is nearly round, with blunt ends. The 
rind is medium thick, very tough, and _ therefore 
loads and ships with the best. When growing con- 
ditions are favorable this is one of the ““whoppers’’ 
for size among market melons. Customers frequent- 
ly send us reports of solid car and truckloads that 
average fifty pounds and better. 
The large size, glossy dark green rind with bluish 
bloom, and deep red, crisp tender flesh, make Flori- 
da Giant one of the most “showy” melons of the 
market types.

FLORIDA GIANT IS ONE OF OUR 
SPECIALITIES 
For years we have sold Florida Giant to melon 
growers from Florida and Texas to the Midwest. Our 
soil seems just right for this variety as year after 
year we grow good seed crops of Florida Giant. And 
we select for good shape and vigor as shown in the 
photo, also notice the clean, healthy vines. 
Our best customers in the Florida Giant trade are 
those who plant large acreages, and want depend- 
able seed. Last season a leading grower in one of 
the Gulf States said to our salesman, "I have ob- 
served Twilley’s Certified Florida Giant all over the 
state, and know it holds its own against any seed.” 
While another old established grower said, “I could 
have paid $10.00 a pound for Twilley’s Florida Giant 
against the other seed I used free of charge.” 
All our seed fields are completely isolated, and all 
seed is saved under our direct supervision. Twilley 
Certified Florida Giant is treated and packed in seal- 
ed containers. 
$11.25: 10 Ibs. $20.00; 25 Ibs. $47.50.
