wmZreo^n^ MELON, MusR or Canteloupe ^t^^-^...... 



CULTURE. — Prepare hills 6 feet apart; a rich, moderately dry sandy soil is best, using well-rotted stable manure, 

 well mixed with the soil. When danger of frost is past plant lo to 12 seeds about an inch deep in each hill and 

 when danger of insects is over, thin out to 4 plants. Ashes, lime, or dry road dust sprinkled over the young plants 

 when the dew is on will prevent the attacks of insects. To promote fruitfulness, pinch the ends of the vines when they 

 begin to blossom, especially if the growth is very luxuriant, and cultivate until the vines cover the ground Be 

 careful not to !?row them near cucumbers, squashes, etc., as they readily hybridize and the flavor of both is injured. 

 Cantaloupes grown on heavy soil are not of the best quality. 



The New Rust Resistant "Money Maker" Canteloupe 



Blight or Rust Resistant, Perfection in Shape and Size, Deliciously Sweet, Spicy Flavor, Green 

 Fleshed, Heavy, Prominent Netting. An Ideal Perfection Melon.- 



It has every characteristic that 

 a good Cantaloupe should have, 

 namely. Blight or rust-resistant 

 tendency, a deadly disease which 

 manifests itself in nearly every crop 

 of Cantaloupes in past years. Per- 

 fection in shape and size, being of 

 the same shape as the old Rocky 

 Ford, but slightly larger in size. 

 In flavor it is deliciously sweet, 

 having a taste that is rich and 

 luscious, being of that desired 

 sweet, spicy flavor. The small 

 cavity, solidly filled with seed, a 

 thick flesh, with smooth, firm tex- 

 ture, green in color and netting on 

 the skin that outcJasses anything 

 vet introduced. The netting of a 

 Cantaloupe such as this one enjoys 

 is a fancy feature, and without 

 question is the essence of its ap- 

 pearance on the market. 



On the whole, it is an ideally 

 I perfect melon — one that will give 

 i absolute satisfaction both to the 

 grower and consumer. Price, pkt.,
