Seedless Watermelon Produced by Student
Watermelons without seeds are produced by chemical treatment of watermelon blossoms, in a process perfected by Cheong Yin Wong, graduate student at Michigan State College, East Lansing. In the photograph, Wong holds a piece of seedless melon in his right hand.
I’m sure it’s just the quality of the black and white picture there, but that watermelon looks quite unappetizing.
