 MUSK-MELON. «frman, Mtiam. 



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 af- 

 fected in consequence. 



BALTIMORE NUTMEG. 



BALTIMORE NUTMEG CANTALOUPE 



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

 Baltimore 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 truck- 

 ers and market gardeners of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk 

 and other places; in fact, it is a leading sort all over the 

 country. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. % lb., 40c. L,b., ?1.25. 



EMERAtD GEM. 

 Meat, salmon color, e.xceedingly sweet and delicious; very 

 early and prolific. One of the best for family use. Its ap- 

 pearance is not attractive, but try it, and you will want it 

 again. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 20c. % lb., oOc. Lb., $2.00. 



OSAGE, OR MILI^ER'S 

 CREA3I.

 color, very thick, 

 sweet and rich; rind

 netted.

EARLY NETTED GEM. 



EXTENSIVELY grown, and many prefer it to all others for 

 table use. Grows remarkably uniform; thick meated; 

 flesh light green in color, and of fine, luscious flavor; 

 skin green, regularly ribbed and thickly netted; very pro- 

 ductive and extra early in ripening; will keep for nearly a 

 week after picking, and is especially suited for shipping in 

 baskets or crates. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. % lb., 30c. Lb., $1.00. 

 IMPROVED JENNY LIND. 

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

 recommended 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 hav- 

 ing this sort for sale would in a short time have no difficulty 

 in disposing of all he could raise.

TRUE TO NAME. 

 The Rocky Ford I got of you last year was excel- 

 lent, and every hill proved true to name.

I am more than pleased with your seed.

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, 

 verv sweet and high-flavored. 



We have an exceptionally fine stock 

 of this variety grown from choice se- 

 lected specimens. 

 Pkt., 5c. Oz., 10c. % lb., 30c.
