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, four 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.

BALTIMORE NUTMEG. 



Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe. 



THE cut is from a photograph taken from a sample lot of Balti- 

 more Nutmeg Cantaloupes gathered from the field where our 

 seed was grown, and is a fair representation of the whole crop. 

 The stock seed of this splendid melon was secured from a trucker who 

 enjoys the reputation for raising the finest Cantaloupes that come to 

 the Baltimore market. The writer also tested the fruit, and found 

 it to be of excellent flavor. It is green-fleshed, and the rind is hand- 

 somely netted. It is well known and popular with the truckers and 

 market gardeners of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other 

 places ; in fact, it is a leading sort all over the country.

 IMPROA ED JENNY LTND. 

 A small, early variety of surpassing good quality, highly recom- 

 mended for family garden. We consider this the most delicious 

 Cantaloupe we have ever eaten, and while the fruit is small, it Is 

 an abundant bearer. A market gardener having this sort for sale 

 would in a short time have no difficulty in disposing of all he could 

 raise.

TRITE TO NAME. 



The Rocky Ford I got of you last year was excellent, and 

 every hill proved true to name. 



J. A. RICHARDSON, Smithsburg, Md 



I am more than pleased with your seed. 



N. E. MILLER, Virginia. 



Rocky Ford Melon. 



This has become one of the most popular of small 

 or basket melons, largely owing to the fact that 

 growers in the Rocky Ford region pack and ship 

 their fruit in a most attractive manner. The 

 fruit is oval, slightly ribbed, densely covered 

 With coarse netting. Flesh thick, green, very 

 and high-flavored. 



have an exceptionally fine stock of this 

 iety grown from choice selected specimens.
