Pure Culture "Garden City" Spawn 7';,%''*beginn^ 



The highest development in the art of spawn making. This spawn is m 

 from tissue cultures from si lect specimens produced by spore (seed) cult 



The bricks are inoculated with tiny threads from a young specimen fr . 

 so that special sorts or strains are produced, true to type. By this selection of varieties the inferior yielding 

 kinds are avoided. We carrv the Cieam Brown or Bohemia variety, which has proven the best yielder. We can, 

 however, supply the Pure White, Brown, Alaska or Columbia pure culture spawn. Price per brick, 3.5c. ; 3 

 bricks for 60c., postpaid; by express or freight, 5 bricks for Sl.OO; 10 bricks, S1.75; 25 bricks, S3.50;

 75 to 90 pounds are frequent. It is the most prolific Hater aielon.

is early, earlier than Sweetheart and a very prolific 

 bearer. The flesh is red, of extreme firmness, in fact 

 almost as hard as citron, very brittle and deliciously 

 sweet. In color it is very Ught green, almost white. 

 The firmness of the flesh causes it to be the longest 

 keeper of the Water Melon family. Placed in a cool 

 place it will k ep as long as a Hubbard Squash and still

The skin is dark green, flesh bright scarlet, ripening close to the skin, the rind 

 being only about one-half inch m thickness. The large, solid heart does 

 not crack open when ripe. The flesh is sweet and sugary. The Melon is better 

 for home use than for shipping, and we believe it is the best Table Melon to-day.

Cole's Fflrlv This is the best Early Water Melon for the home market 

 J 'J to-day. For sweetness and delicate texture of flesh it has no 



equal. The rind is thin but brittle, and therefore not suitable for shipping; for the 

 home market we know of none better. Extreme earliness is its great merit.
