1944 Burpee Seed Co. Catalog Says about Dixie Queen Watermelon...
"Fruits are round to slightly oblong. 12" across, 15" long, averaging 30-35 lbs each. Has light green skin with irregular stripes of dark green. Flesh is brilliant red, of fine texture and excellent quality; it is good clear to the rind, which is thin but tough, so it stands shipping. Seeds are small and white. A favorite variety in the South, where it is grown for shipment to the northern markets. Equally desirable for home and market gardens in the North because of its many good qualities. Always a ready seller."
