ill plant 50 hills; two or three pounds for one acre. 



Culture. — Sow in light, rich, sandy soil after it has become warm and dry, in hills 5 to 6 feet apart, six to ten 

 seeds in a hill. When up and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. Pinch the ends of 

 the growing vines to induce fruiting. Ashes, air-slacked lime or tobacco dust are excellent to sift over the young 

 plants when the dew is on, to prevent attacks of insects.

 Cantaloupe 



It has cvvry charac- 



tcristic that a good 



Cantaloupe should have, namely, blight 

 or rust-resistant tendency, a deadly dis- 

 ease which manifested itself in nearly 

 every crop of Cantaloupes in past years. 

 Perfec1.ion in shape and size, being of 

 the same shape as the old Rocky Ford, 

 but slightly larger in size. In flavor it 

 is dcliciously sweet, having a taste that 

 is rich and luscious, being of the de- 

 sired sweet, spicy flavor. The small 

 cavity, solidly filled with seed, a thick 

 flesh,' with smooth, firm texture, green 

 in color and netting on the skin that 

 outclasses anything yet introduced. 

 The netting of a Cantaloupe such as 

 this one enjoys is a fancy feature, and 

 ■without question is the essence of its 

 appearance on the market. On the 

 whole, it is an ideally perfect Melon — 

 one that will give absolute satisfaction 

 both to the grower and consumer.

Schultz's Sweet Air 



This 

 superb 



green-fleshed Musk Melon has had a 

 wonderful reputation around Washing- 

 ton and Baltimore markets, and fully 

 deserves to be known over a wider 

 territory. It grows very uniform in shape and 

 size, averaging about 9 inches in length, from stem 

 to blossoms, and 6 to 7 inches in the other direction; 

 handsomely netted, very thick meat, with a delicious 

 sweet flavor. Every Melon grower is to be congratu- 

 lated who plants a crop of this magnificent Melon, 

 as it will be sure to please the grower, the mer- 

 chant to whom it is sold, and the family for table 

 use. Pkt. 5c., oz. lOc, H lb. 25c., lb. 75c. 



J Considered by our customers far 

 iVlciryia.1111 superior to the very best strains of 

 Rocky Ford. Earlier and more productive. It is 

 ten days earlier than the Rocky Ford, twice as pro- 

 ductive and larger in size. The vines are of a 

 strong, healthy growth, branch freely, setting a 

 large number of fruits close to the hill. The Melons 

 are fine and regular in size and form nearly round or 

 slightly oval, and very closely netted. Ihe skin is 

 of a light golden hue when fully ripened. Flesh 

 bright green, luscious in flavor, and ripens close to 

 the skin. Customers who are fortunate enough to 

 get some of this seed and who have been raising 

 Rocky Ford Melons will not grow them again after 

 once planting this new strain. The stock is limited.
