Johnson’s Dreamwold-A “Find” in Muskmelons 
Two years ago, one of our expert melon growers in southern New Jersey found a chance plant in 
a large field of our Improved Shippers’ Delight Muskmelon, which seemed distinct in both fruit and 
foliage, the melons setting and ripening two weeks in advance of the others; more densely netted and 
free from any tendency to knob or button at the blossom end. The seed was carefully saved and

planted, so that we are able this season to offer 
it for sale. The quality of its thick, green flesh

cious beyond description. Add to these its 
remarkable earliness, and we have certainly a 
valuable addition to the list of muskmelons. 
If you grow for market and want to be the 
first with fine melons, plant Johnson’s 
Dreamwold, which means double prices can be 
realized on all you can grow. You can buy 
your seed this season from the Johnson Seed 
Company only, as we control the entire 
supply. Prices, per pkt., 15c.; oz., 35c.; 4 Ib., 
$1.00 ; lb., $3.50. 
Improved Shippers’ 
Delight Muskmelon 
The old Shippers’ Delight Muskmelon, in- 
troduced in 1897, has made much money for 
growers, on account of its earliness and fine 
shipping qualities. This is an improved se- 
lection, bred to give it larger size and a more 
uniform appearance, without expending any 
of its earliness, thickness of flesh, or fine flavor. 
With the exception of Johnson’s Dreamwold, 
no better shipping melon can be found. Pkt., 
5¢.; 0z., 10c.; 4 lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.
