LETTUCE 



Long'Standing White Boston (New) 



Very long-standing. Resistant to wilt and tip-bum 

 Days to maturity, 75. This new and distinct Lettuce is destined 

 for an important future. Fundamentally, it is a very pure strain 

 of the \^'hite Boston type, but its great mark of distinction is in its 

 long-standing habit of gro^^th and its freedom from tip-burn. Any 

 Lettuce which wiD stand up under the dry, burning heat of mid-July 

 as this one does is a stock of outstanding merit. For table quality 

 and tender sweetness we know of no other strain that will compare 

 with Long-standing White Boston. The color is a bright yellow- 

 green. Our prediction is that this Lettuce will largely replace the 

 older ^^'hite Boston, for it has all of the good qualities of that va- 

 riety and at the same time holds from two to three weeks longer 

 before shooting to seed and is more resistant to wilt and tip-burn. 

 Give it a thorough trial this year.

New York No, 12 



Matures earlier. Better adapted to eastern climate 

 Days to maturity, 90. Pacific Coast growers have had a near 

 monopoly in the production of Iceberg type Lettuce. The prevail- 

 ing cool temperatures there are in their favor. New York No. 12 

 matures earlier than the original strain and is better adapted to our 

 eastern climate. Among other advantages, it is much less susceptible 

 to loss by tip-bum. For these reasons, growers can plant New York 

 No. 12 in almost any locality, either early in the spring or in the 

 late summer or faU. \\'hen grown on well-prepared and well-fertilized 

 ground, it will develop solid, crisp, large heads. The color is a trifle 

 lighter than other strains of New York.

MUSKMELON ™- 



Honey Rock (New) 



Early. Extremely delicious. An outstanding introduction 

 Days to maturity, 80. This very desirable new Muskmelon 

 deserves the immediate attention of all growers. It is un- 

 usually handsome in appearance, being of medium size, round 

 as a bail, and coverea with heavy, coarse netting. Its deep 

 orange-colored flesh is extremely thick and of uniformly sweet, 

 high flavor, a feature which does not hold for many varieties. 

 The exterior color of the melon is very light green, turning 

 when ripe to a light, golden yellow. It will ripen early, and 

 it is very productive. We predict an important future for 

 Honey Rock.

Stokes Hale's Best 



A very reliable strain 

 Days to maturity, 75. There was more Hale's Best 

 planted in the United States than ail other varieties of Musk- 

 melon combined. It is the earliest maturing melon of im- 

 portance, developing fruits ten days ahead of competing sorts. 

 It will produce, with great uniformity, melons 6 to 7 inches 

 in length. The flesh is thick and of a deep orange color. It is 

 as disease-resistant as any strain now in general use.

Hearts of Gold 



The new Honey Rock Melon is a decided addition to any list 



Recommended for roadside market sale 

 Days to maturity, 85. In size this melon is about one- 

 fourth larger than the old Rocky Ford type. It combines the 

 golden flesh of Osage with the heavy netting and thin rind of 

 the Netted Gem. Hearts of Gold has shown a decided resist- 

 ance to rust. This stock is very highly recommended.
