Sy Watermelon 



XORTH rivals SOUTH with COLE'S EARLY 



PRODUCES LUSCIOUS MELONS 

 WHERE NONE GREW REFORE 

 SUREST IN CROP PRODUCTION 



QUALITY EQUAL TO THE BEST 



This is the easiest to grow of all the Watermelons. If you have 

 failed with other sorts you can succeed with Cole's Early. It is 

 the best variety for the family garden, primarily so on account of 

 its extreme earliness, but mainly because it has all the qualities 

 necessary to a perfect variety for this purpose. Its remarkably 

 early character entirely removes the most common hindrance to 

 its cultivation. As far north as Canada and in places where 

 Watermelons never grew before, Cole's Early is now supplying 

 the tables of those who grow it, just as bountifully and with just as 

 good Melons as in the sunny regions of the South. 



It is good in every respect, producing a liberal crop of Melons 

 twelve inches long and nine inches in diameter, not large, but in 

 abundance and of delicious quality. The deep red, fine grained 

 flesh ripens from heart to rind, while its rich color and luscious 

 flavor are tempting to the most exacting and critical taste. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. H lb., $2.50 lb. 



"J planted a package of your Cole's Early Watermelon seed last year 

 and I raised about 15 of them. I got some big ones and the Quality oj all of 

 them was fine. Everbody in town had a small piece." 



MAX CLINTON SNOW, So. Royalston. Mass. 

 "Cole's Early Watermelons were of the best quality and also very productive."

Henderson's SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The white thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom 

 is analogous to the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the 

 grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accomplished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be 

 made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature 

 of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for. 



English Mushroom Spawn 



This is the kind that has been in constant use for years and is 

 still preferred by many. In order to insure its freshness we make 

 frequent importations, and we can confidently recommend our stock. 

 Use in same quantity as "American Pure Culture" described adjoin- 

 ing. Price per brick, 25c; 10 bricks, $2.25; 100 bricks, $20.00. 

 Purchaser paying carriage. 



"Some lime ago I bought several pounds of Mushroom Spazvn from you, 

 which I planted in beds of 150 square feet. Now I gather daily the best and 

 largest Mushrooms I have ever seen. They are perfect in appearance and fine 

 in taste." EWALD H. KRAFT, 



44 Hancock St., Little Falls, N. Y. 



American cuuure Mushroom Spawn 



Recent diseover : es in the production of Mushroom Spawn have 

 enabled us to offer cultures taken only from selected specimens, 

 thus extending the work of selection to this delicious vegetable. 

 It is now possible to reproduce Mushrooms showing superiority 

 in size, color and shape. The value of such selection is already 

 apparent, for we are now able to offer a pure culture spawn that 

 will produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size, and of a 

 constant creamy-white color. American Pure Culture Spawn 

 is sold in flat bricks about \}4 inches thick, weighing about 

 1M pounds. One brick may be broken into nine pieces, which, 

 set 12 inches apart, will spawn an area of 9 square feet. (See 

 engraving.) Price per brick, 30c; 10 bricks, $2.75; 100 

 bricks, $25.00. Purchaser paying carriage. 



"I have used 24 pounds of your Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn, 

 and have been very successful — extra good results." 



R. E. FLOOD, Orange, N. J. 



"I bought some Mushroom Spawn, American Pure Culture, from 

 you last year and although it was my first attempt I had great success 

 with it, raising over two pounds to a foot of space." 



J. R. HALSTEAD, New Brunswick, N. J. 



"The American Pure Culture Mushroom recently purchased from 

 you has started to show buttons all over the bed. It looks as if I am 

 going to have as good luck with Mushrooms by using your Spawn as I 

 have by using your seeds for the garden." 



H. BARTHOLOMEW, Rockefeller, III. 



"Last year I purchased a small amount of your good Spawn, American 

 Pure Culture, and had splendid luck with it. On S8 square feet I 

 raised 125 pounds of fine Mushrooms which were of splendid flavor and 

 color. My success has inspired me to try again on a larger scale." 

 Mrs. C. B. RUSSELL, Paterson, N. J.
