MUSKMEIONS OR CANTALOUPES 



CULTURE — One ounce of seed to 50 hills. Sow about the last of spring or the first of summer in hills of light, rich, sandy 

 soil, 4 feet apart, allowing but three plants to grow in each hill; after they have grown about a foot long, pinch off the 

 points of shoots, which causes the vines not only to become stronger, but makes them produce lateral branches and prove 

 more productive and mature earlier. It should not be grown near squashes, cucumbers or pumpkins, as the flavor will be 

 affected in consequence. 



KNIGHT CANTALOUPE 



KNIGHT CANTALOUPE 



This Cantaloupe 

 has created a furore 

 with our truckers, 

 on account of its 

 earliness, product- 

 iveness, uniformity 

 in shape and ap- 

 pearance and its fine 

 table qualities. It 

 matures about a 

 week earlier than 

 the regular Rocky 

 Ford, is larger in 

 size and makes a 

 most attractive and 

 saleable melon. It 

 has thick, green 

 flesh, shading to 

 orange at the cen- 

 ter. The fruits are oblong in shape, well ribbed and well 

 netted. It is a leader both for planting for home use and 

 market and for shipping. Its early maturity, together with 

 its fine qualities, are strong points in its favor. Pkt. 10c,
