Culture. A sandy loam to which plenty of well rotted manure has 

 been added will be found ideal. Plant early in May, when the ground 

 has become warm, in hills 5 feet apart each way ; 12 to 15 seeds to the 

 hill ; cover half inch deep. To prevent damage by insects, spray with 

 Pyrox. Thin out few plants after they sliow good growth and when all 

 danger of insects is over thin out to 2 plants to the hill. For an early 

 crop sow seed in berry boxes placed in hotbeds and transplant outdoors"; 

 do not disturb the roots. Sow one ounce of seed to 60 hills ; two pounds 

 for an acre. 



Green Fleshed Varieties 



611. Honey Ball. A cross between Honey Dew and 

 Texas Cannon Ball. Early, prolific good keeper, delightful 

 flavor. Excellent shipper, and fine for the home garden. 



401. Delicious Gold-Lined Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. 



Shape is ideal, no ribs, and it is heavily netted over the 

 entire melon. The melon is thick meated, fine grained 

 and sweet ; color, green, with a gold margin next to the seed - 

 cavity. 



207. Watters' Improved Solid Net Rocky Ford 

 Cantaloupe. This is the earliest strain of Rocky Ford 

 Cantaloupes. The meat is light green, spicy and sweet. -^he 

 heavy gray netting is closely laced. 



16. Junior Rocky Ford. Two weeks earlier, a little larger, twice as 

 productive as Rocky' Ford. More thoroughly and deeply netted. Rust and 

 blight proof. Packs in crates better and carries better than any other melon. 

 Most deliciously sweet and spicy. The attractive, green flesh is thick, 

 smooth and firm. 



450. Honey Dew. The skin is smooth and the rind though thin is very 

 tough. Will keep until Christmas. Creamy yellow when ripe. Flesh an 

 emerald green. Can be eaten to the extreme rind. Is a good shipper. 



337. Knight, or Maryland Cantaloupe. A very popular melon with 

 large growers and shippers ; somewhat larger than the Rocky Ford or Netted 

 Gem. 



166. Anne Arundel. Large, green fleshed, deeply netted. 



334. Pollock Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. A rust resisting melon, with 

 netting over the blossom end, and finest shipping and eating qualities. The 

 selection from time to time have reduced the size; now they crate nicely. 



157. Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. Thoroughbred Stock. Meat light 

 green changing verj^ slightly toward gold near the center. Very spicy and 

 sweet; abundant yielder; having produced 300 standard crates from one 

 acre; an excellent shipper. 



492. Bottomley Cantaloupe. A great blight re- 

 sister. A few days later than the Knight. Slightly 

 smaller than the Knight. Uniform size, about 7 inche^ 

 from stem to blossom end. Beautifully netted with 

 deep green ribs, giving it a most attractive appear- 

 ance. Thick meated, very crisp and fine flavor. Hand- 

 some greenish, color shading to a frosty salmon next 

 to seed cavity. Small seed cavity. Shape oval, slightly 

 more pointed at blossom end than at stem end. A 

 wonderful shipper. Retains its flavor and firmness 

 longer than any other melon. A great favorite wherever 

 grown. 



471. 10-25 Cantaloupe. A reselection of the Pol- 

 lack Salmon Tint No. 25 strain of Rocky Ford, which 

 has become a most popular strain among market 

 growers. Salmon flesh, tender, sweet flavored, without 

 strings or toughness. Excellent shipper. Good seller. 



170. Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe. The Orig- 

 inal Stock. Is delicious in flavor, attractive in form 

 and color, and unexcelled as a shipper. We recom- 

 mend this melon.
