 flesh and splendid quality of the Defender and 

 possessing the characteristic netting, shape, size and 

 shipping quality of Netted Gem or Rocky Ford. 

 Combining all the good qualities of these two fine 

 varieties we believe the Admiral Togo is an ideal 

 table melon. This is a desirable medium early 

 sort for the home and market garden. We consider 

 it the best small shipping juelon yet introduced. 

 We believe the seed we offer will meet the demands 

 of the most discriminating buyers. Pkt. 10c; Oz.

Cassaba Melon 



The Cassabas are primarily for winter use. They require a long seasonfor maturing but the fruits are exceptionally good 



keepers. The skin of the 

 fruits is usually furrowed 

 and they possess little or 

 none of the common musk 

 melon odor. 



Seed may be planted in 

 April or May. Cultivate 

 same as other musk melons 

 but do not water too freely 

 after first setting of fruit 

 is fully grown. The fruits 

 may be picked when the 

 light streaks have become 

 quite yellow. Store the 

 fruits so they do not touch 

 each other, in a cool dark 

 place. When the rind be- 

 comes slightly softened and 

 moist, they are ready to 

 cut. 



Golden Beauty 



One of the best cassabas. 

 It is a variety grown 

 extensively for shipment 

 from Southern California. 

 The fruits are nearly 

 globular, bright yellow 

 with golden tint, with 

 wrinkled skin, six to eight 

 inches in diameter. The 

 flesh is white, very thick, 

 juicy and sweet. Pkt. 10c;
