SPECIALTIES '"VEGETABLE SEEDJ 



>HILMlEIiPMlk\ 



HONEY DEW MELON 



This new Melon is unlike the ordinary muskmelon or 

 cantaloupe both in appearance and flavor, the outer skin 

 being smooth, hard and nearly white. The melons are 

 large, round to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and 

 have a very small seed cavity; flesh is light green, very 

 solid and of a rich honey-like flavor, luscious and juicy, much 

 more so than any variety of muskmelon. It is an excellent 

 keeping melon and fruits may be laid away for use late in the 

 fall when they will be greatly appreciated, not only for their 

 delightful flavor, but because the other varieties of melons 

 are gone. On account of the hard shell it is an excellent 

 shipper, carrying safely for long distances without being 

 bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suitable for grow- 

 ing in all places of equal latitude to Philadelphia and the 

 West, including California, but we do not recommend it for 

 planting in the New England States, or locations where the 

 growing season is short. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts. ; J lb., 

 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



DELICIOUS GOLD LINED 

 MUSKMELON 



There are many varieties of this type, but not any equal 

 it in uniformity of shape and good quality. It has been 

 bred with much care and produces a larger percentage of the 

 true type than most sorts, for which reason growers of 

 muskmelons, both for home use and for market, will be 

 delighted with it. The melons are very attractive and grow 

 to about the same size as "Rockyford," the variety having 

 been selected from that well-known sort, but specimens run 

 more uniform as to size and shape, which is nearly round, 

 and the skin is covered with a thick grayish netting, adding 

 much to the appearance of the melon. The flesh is green, 

 with slight golden tint next to the seed cavity, and the flavor 

 is delicious, being remarkably sweet and juicy. Vines are 

 productive and melons mature early, making it desirable 

 both for the home garden and for shipping, as it is of a size 

 and shape which is especially suited for crating. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz,20cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



YELLOW ICE CREAM 

 WATERMELON 



This unique Watermelon is aptly described in a letter 

 received from Mr. E. Stanley Brown, Horticulturist, 

 iuist Moriches, N. Y., in which he writes: "Afte: re- 

 peated trials I have no hesitancy in stating that Yellow 

 Ice Cream is the 'par excellence' of Watermelons. The 

 \ines are strong, inclined to overbear, and whether fully 

 j.'rown or undeveloped, there seems to be no difference in 

 quality, being sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright 

 ;^olden-yellow, skin beautiful green and shape elongated. 

 We found that by laying them on the barn floor, away 

 Irom chilly blasts, they kept well into the winter, and 

 I he last one eaten was as good as ever. The patch was 

 lound by night prowlers and this variety was nearly all 

 (aken, while others were left, showing that even in the 

 dark the best could be selected. If I could have only 

 one variety of Watermelon it would be Yellow Ice 

 Cream." Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; J lb., 70 cts.; 

 III., $2.25. 



PRIZETAKER ONION 



The large size and handsome appearance of this 

 I )aion makes it equally desirable for the home garden or 

 for market. It is strictly "fancy," and is found on fruit 

 -lands during the fall, where it is sold as Spanish Onion. 



Ihe true Prizetaker Onion is globe-shape, has pale yel- 

 low skin and white flesh, which is very mild and of deli- 

 . ate flavor. No sets are required, as the large Onions ';re 

 i:rown the first year from seed sown during the spring, 



hus making it a very desirable Onion for the home 

 garden. This is a good variety of Onion for sowing 

 under glass in February for transplanting. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; J lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25.
