Barteldes Greeley Wonder Melon 
The most delicious melon we've ever eaten. 
The Greeley Wonder Melon was originated by one of our growers in Greeley, 
Colorado. The melon is of large size, round, but slightly flattened at the ends. 
The flesh is of light orange color, very, very thick, but it is the taste that 
makes the hit. The Greeley Wonder is simply delicious, and you have to taste 
it yourself to appreciate it. 
The melons will weigh up to ten and twelve pounds, and are borne in goodly 
quantities. The Greeley Wonder is not a long distance shipping melon. It is 
all right to ship to markets that can be reached the next morning, but longer 
shipping is not recommended. A peculiar feature of the Greeley Wonder is 
that when the melons are ripe they break from the stem.

Early Malcolm Sweet Corn 
Two weeks earlier than .Golden Bantam. There is in 
every neighborhood a friendly rivalry as to who can produce 
the biggest tomatoes, the best heads of lettuce, etc. But we 
believe that the big event is the race to produce the first 
roasting ears. Perhaps neighbor Smith has a little better 
piece of ground and has had the edge on you for several 
seasons. Here is your chance to get back at him. Plant a 
few rows of Early Malcolm and then send him- a mess of 
corn when he hasn't even thought of roasting ears. 
Early Malcolm originated at the Central Experimental 
i^arm at Ottawa, Canada. It was bred from Malakoff, an 
extremely early Russian variety. It is a true sweet corn 
with wrinkled kernels and matures in 55 days which is 
approximately two weeks earlier than Golden "Bantam. The 
stalks are about 3% feet high and. the ears are about 15 
inches above the ground, averaging 6 to 6V2 inches long 
with eight to ten rows. It is very high in sugar content 
and delicious to the taste. Per pkt., 10c; Y 2 lb., 25c; lb.,

Pink Kaffir 
SURE TO MATURE 
Every grower of Kafiir Corn knows that nearly every year 
thousands upon thousands of bushels of Kaffir Corn are 
caught by early frosts, and every Kafiir Corn grower will 
appreciate the great value of variety that will mature from 
two to three weeks earlier than the White Kafiir. 
. 'This difference of two weeks in maturing often means 
just the difference between a big heavy yield and a field 
ruined by an early frost. . . 4 
Pink Kaffir will grow in wetter soil and will stand more 
dry weather than White Kaffir. Unlike White Kaffir the 
Pink does not stop growing in dry weather but keeps right on. 
The stalk of the Pink Kafiir is slender out the plant has just as many leaves and 
makes just as much fodder as other Kaffirs, The heads are rather slender but long. 
Yields are fully as heavy as White or Red Kaffir. - 
t 9^ e J r °Z er i re P? rts „ a s follows: "In 1916 I planted White Kaffir ten days before 
i VLrTr P 1 mk I „ T ? e , W ™\ t( r did not mature while the Pink made 43 bushels per acre, 
in 1917 I planted both White and Pink at the same time. The White did not mature 
while the Pink made a heavy yield." 
Plant at least a few acres of Pink Kaffir. It will pay you. '

Golden Ponderosa Tomato 
A SPLENDID NOVELTY 
There are several varieties of Yellow Tomatoes on the 
market, but most of them are valuable only on account of 
the novelty of the yellow color. 
The Golden Ponderosa has all the good qualities of the 
Red Ponderosa, and in addition has a striking yellow 
color, which makes it very attractive. 
It is a heavy yielder and the tomatoes are of very large 
size and of a delicious flavor. Excellent for slicing and 
when the slices are served on a dish with slices of red 
tomatoes the effect is very pretty and attractive. Pkt.,
