will plant 60 hills. ITICLV^l^, MUSK OF tanieiOUpC pounds to the acre. 



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 10 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 grow them near cucumbers, squashes, etc., as they readi- 

 ly 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" 



Green Flesh CANTALOUPE 



A Cantaloupe of quality, 

 one which every planter 

 Should give a trial. It 

 has levery characteristic 

 that a good Cantaloupe 

 should have — namely — 

 Blight or rust-resistant 

 tendency, a deadly dis- 

 ease which manifests it- 

 self in nearly every crop 

 of Cantaloupes in past 

 years. Perfection 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 texture, green in 

 color and netting on the 

 skin that outclasses any- 

 thing yet introduced. The 

 netting of a Cantaloupe 

 such as this one enjoys is 

 a fancy feature, and with- 

 out question is the essence 

 of its appearance on the 

 market, and experience re- 

 veals that it has a value 

 in protecting the keeping 

 qualities of the melons on 

 long shipments. 



On the whole, it is an 

 ideally perfect melon — 

 one that will give absolute 

 satisfaction both to the 

 grower and consumer.
