WATERMELON 



Browii'seeded Klondike (New) 



Highly flavored. Bright red 

 Days to maturity, 90. This melon 

 combines four important features: It 

 is early; flesh is bright red, of delicious 

 flavor; it averages 25 pounds in weight; 

 is oblong with an even, dark green 

 color. This is a particularly well-bred 

 strain, our seed being saved from only 

 the most perfect melons. One feature 

 of the dark brown seed instead of the 

 usual white seed is that the consumer 

 feels that a dark-seeded melon is a 

 ripe melon. Price, Postpaid : Pkt. 5 cts. ; 

 oz. 15 cts.; V^lh. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25. 



Weatherford Watson 



The Brown-seeded Kiundike Watermelon is excellent for cutting 



Pride of Muscatine (New) 



A certified, wilt-resistant Kleckley 



Days to maturity, 120. Developed after five years of inbreed- 

 ing a wilt-resistant strain of Kleckley Sweet in Muscatine County, 

 Iowa. This melon is recommended to growers who have experi- 

 enced losses from fusarium wilt. Where this disease is not known, 

 we recommend planting the original Kleckley. Pride of Musca- 

 tine is a long, dark green melon with brown seed and bright red 

 flesh. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y^Vo. 60 cts.; lb. $2. 



Days to maturity, 115-130. This 

 represents the highest development of 

 the well-known Tom Watson strain. We secure our stock from 

 the justly famous Weatherford (Texas) Watermelon district. The 

 outstanding features of this variety are its brilliant red interior, 

 combined with great uniformity of size and shape. Melons will 

 average over 20 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter. 

 Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; i^lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.25.

ONION 



Riverside Sweet Spanish 



WESTERN ASIA 



Spanish type. Acclimated to our conditions 



Days to maturity, 115. This Onion fully equals the largest Spanish Onions we have ever 

 seen imported. They mature as early as Prizetaker and are only slightly later than Soutliport 

 Yellow Globe, although they are twice the size of that variety. At this writing we have 

 specimens in our office measuring 4}^ inches across and weighing two pounds. The onions are 

 almost perfect globe shape, slightly flattened at the ends, and of a clear, bright yellow color. 

 Flesh is mild and sweet. There is no difficulty in raising this Onion from seed. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; V41b. 85 cts.; lb. $3. 



Mountain Danvers 



Earlier than Yellow Danvers. Excellent keeper 



Days to maturity, 100. This Onion, grown privately for us at an 

 elevation of 5000 feet on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains, 

 will mature a hard, uniform bulb earlier than any variety in its class. 

 It is the best-keeping Onion in our entire list. The skin is slightly 

 thicker than most varieties. Our strain will show high purity and 

 germination. We offer it now for the seventh season. To growers 

 who can take advantage of the early market, or to growers who 

 have partial crop-failure due to shortness of season. Stokes Moun- 

 tain Danvers will prove especially valuable. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y4lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.
