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 show 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.

401. Delicious Gold-Lined Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. 



This strain of Eden Gem type is the result of several years 

 selection by one of the most progressive farmers of Rocky 

 Ford, Colo. 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. The 

 heavy gray netting is closely laced. 



Green Fleshed Varieties 



16. Junior Rocky Ford. (Specialty, see page 12.) 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 deliriously sweet and spicy. The attrac- 

 tive, green flesh is thick, smooth and firm. 



450. Honey Dew. The new melon. Average size 6 inches in diameter 

 and 7 to 8 inches in length. Weight averages 8 to 10 pounds. 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 New Maryland Cantaloupe. A very popular melon 

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

 Netted Gem. We offer the original stock, which is very fine. 



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

 netting over the blossom endj not a long melon, but rather inclined to be 

 short, with the finest shipping and eating qualities. The selection from 

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



157. Thoroughbred Rocky Ford Cantaloupe. Thoroughbred Stock 

 Bolgiano's Trustworthy Stock. The finest in the world. Meat light green

 Very spicy and sweet; abundant yielder, having pro- 

 duced 300 standard crates from one acre; an excellent 

 shipper. 



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

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

 in the last few seasons has become the most popular 

 strain of the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe 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. Our seed of

 a parent stock of the finest flavor. We recommend this 

 melon, and firmly believe the cash balance of every 

 trucker will be materially increased if he grows our 

 superior stock of Nutmeg Cantaloupe.
