COLE’S EARLY 
WATERMELON 
NORTH rivals SOUTH with COLE’S EARLY 
PRODUCES LUSCIOUS MELONS 
WHERE NONE GREW BEFORE 
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., 20c. oz., 69c. 14 Ib., $2.00 Ib. 
“T 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 of all of them 
was fine. Everybody in town had a small piece.” 
MAX CLINTON SNOW, So. Royalston, Mass. 
“Cole's Early Watermelons were of a best quality and also very productive.”

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

“T 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 gcod 
luck with Mushrooms by using your Spawn as I have by using your seeds for 
the garden.”’ 
H. BARTHOLOMEW, Rockefeller, Ill. 
“Last year I purchased a small amount of your good Spawn, American Pure 
Culture, and had splendid luck with it. On 88 square feet I raised 125 pounds 
of fine Mushrooms which were of splendid flavor and color. My success has 
tnspired me to try again on a larger scale.’ 
Mrs. C. B. RUSSELL, Paterson, N. J. 
Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature of 50 ‘o 60 degrees.

American cuiture Mushroom Spawn 
Recent discoveries 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 1% inches thick, weighing about 
1144 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.
