CASSABAS— 
or Winter Muskmelons 
Rocky Ford — The most largely grown Muskmelon 
The Cassaba has corne 
to stay. To some extent 
the Cassaba flavor is an 
acquired taste, but judg- 
ing from the increasing 
popularity of the two va- 
rieties we list, an im- 
mense population is ac- 
quiring the taste. One 
now sees these Cassabas 
in all the Eastern mar- 
kets, and they are on the 
bills of fare of all the 
finest restaurants. They 
are plentiful as late as 
February, when all other 
fruits are rare. Culture 
is the same as for musk- 
melon.

ary or early Febru- 
ary. Golden Beauty

wrinkled skin, 
slightly pointed at

CULTURAL NOTICE: Owing to the tendency of the seed of Angelino 
to split open we advise all planters to soak the seed in water for only a 
few hours. It soon closes and is ready to plant, and every seed will germi- 
nate, but if planted before soaking, the seed becomes filled with dirt and 
decays. Please heed this notice.
