Steckler's 

 Eden Gem. 



STECKLEB'S EDEN GEM. — Ripens about 

 ten days earlier than the original Rocky- 

 ford, of which it is a selection. The vines 

 are extremely thrifty growers, and are less 

 liable to be attacked by rust than most 

 other varieties. The fruits are nearly 

 round, green, solidly netted and only slight- 

 ly ribbed. The flesh is red or salmon color, 

 and of good quality and sweet. This strain 

 is one of the best for shipping to distant 

 markets. Packet, 5c. and 10c.; oz., 15c.; 14 

 lb., 50c.; 11)., $1.50, postpaid. 



HOODOO. — This is an orange fleshed 

 variety of medium size, ideal as a shipping 

 melon and a desirable mid-season sort for 

 the home garden. The vines are vigorous, 

 blight resisting and very productive. The 

 fruits are nearly round and are uniformly 

 of medium size. The netting is exception- 

 ally fine and dense, extending over 

 practically the entire surface. The rind is 

 thin yet very firm, so that the melons 

 arrive in perfect condition in distant mar- 

 kets. The flesh is very thick, firm, highly 

 colored, of fine texture and delicious flavor. 

 Packet, 5c. and 10c. ; oz., 15c.; V4 Ib-i 50c.; 

 lb., $1.50, postpaid.
