Muskmelon 



NEW 

 UABYI.AND 



CXJTiTUBE — 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, 4 feet apart, allowing but three plants 

 to grow in each hill; after they have grown about a foot 

 long, pmch 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 affected in consequence. 



NEW MAR'X'X.AITD CANTA- 

 ZiOTJFE. — The latest acquisition 

 to our collection of muskmelons. 

 It is earlier, larger and cuts bet- 

 ter than the Rocky Ford. Flesh 

 is green, of fine flavor and heav- 

 ily netted, making it the most 

 attractive melon on the market. 

 A sure moneymaker. Our truck- 

 ers around Baltimore will have 

 no other after planting our New 

 Maryland. Pkt., 5c. Oz., ISc, 

 M lb., 40c. lib., $1.25. 



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 

 rord 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, very sweet and high- 

 flavored. 



We have an exceptionally fine stock of this variety grown 

 from choice selected specimens. Fkt., 5c. Oz., isc. ^4 lb., 



3Sc. j.y>., $1.00. 



Baltimore Nutmeg Cantaloupe 



The Old Standard Variety That Has Found Favor 

 Wherever Grown. 



The stock seed of this splendid melon was secured from a 

 trucker who enjoys the reputation for raising the finest Canta- 

 loupes 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 handsomely netted. It is well 

 known and popular with the truckers and market gardeners 

 of Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and other places — in fact, 

 it is a leading sort all over the country. Fkt., 5c. Oz., 15c. 

 lb., 35c lib., $1.00. 



HVIFIIOVED JENNY I.IND. 



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 having 

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

 disposing of all he could raise. Fkt., 5c. Oz., 15c. 14 lb.. 

 35c. Ib„ $1.00.

 tra early in ripening; will keep for nearly a week after pick- 

 ing, and is especially suited for shipping in baskets or crates.
