DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER 



Davis Perfect Cu- 

 cumber.— For a number of 

 3ears we have tried to get a 

 Cucumber that would have all 

 good qualities the hot house cu- 

 cumber has ; time and again we 

 have failed, but now we have 

 one that when shown on the 

 market stand, you cannot tell 

 the difference between it and 

 those grown under glass. Time 

 and money could not replace 

 this were the seed to be lost. 

 Its shape and dark, rich green 

 color and uniform size are bound 

 to make it a winner. It is ex- 

 ceedingly tender and free from 

 the bitter taste that Cvrcumbers 

 sometimes have. As a slicim; 

 cucumber, it has no equal. An- 

 other characteristic of this Cu- 

 cumber is that there are fewer 

 seeds than in any other sort. 

 It is very productive and free from the blight than other sorts. We will give jlO.OO for the best 25 Davis Perfect Cucumbers 

 brought to our place grown from our seed Jul^' 3rd, 1907. Packet, 10 cents; one ounce, 25 cents; ,'4 pound, 75 cents; one 

 pound, $2.50. 



BURRELL'S GEM CANTALOUPE 



$10,000 for a crop of Burrell's Gem Cantaloupe or Musk Melon 



This melon was introduced by one of the largest growers of Cantaloupes in Rocky Ford, Colorado. It is a well-known fact 

 that the pink or red-flesh melons produce stronger and better growth than the green-fleshed varieties. The grower and introducer 

 of this melon writes us as follows : "As evidence of the value of this Melon, I will say that on Saturday, November 3, 1906, the 

 Chas. H. Huehne Commission Co., of Kansas City, offered me .*1.00 per flat crate at the growing station for 200 crates per day for 

 the crop of 1907. As the crates are only one-third the size of the ordinary Rocky I'ord melon crates, and as 75c. per standard 

 crate is the cash limit price for the Rocky Ford 

 Melon, this offer amounts to four times as much 

 as we can get for the Rocky Ford Melon. This 

 will amount to ,$10,000 for a crop. This is only 

 for the Kansas City market. ' ' Why grow mel- 

 ons at low prices when you can get the top of 

 the market with the Burrell Gem. The seed 

 cavity of this melon is exceedingly small, thus 

 making it very thick, fleshy and meaty. It is 

 the same shape as the Rocky Ford, well netted 

 and ribbed. It will .soon take the place of the 

 older varieties and persons having this melon 

 will get the top of the market. The flavor 

 is just what the general public want and 

 has always cut without exception, sweet and 

 solid. One car last September contained 863 

 doz., sold for |1, 159.80, netting over $1.00 

 per dozen. Seed limited. Packet, 10 cents ; 

 1 ounce, 50 cents ; % pound, $1.25 ; 1 pound, 

 |5.00. $10.00 Cash will be paid by us for the 

 best 25 of these Canteloupes or this melon de- 

 livered at our place, July 15, 1907,
