One of the most 
valuable 
Musk Melons ever 
introduced. 
A splendid variety. One 
of the very best yellow 
fleshed sorts, and in some 
respects is far superior to 
any of this class. The 
medium sized fruit is oval 
in shape, slightly ribbed, 
covered with gray netting. 
The flesh is firm, fine 
grained, rich, deep yellow, 
darker than that of the 
Osage, and of higher flavor. 
The vine is vigorous and 
very productive. The fruit, 
because of its hard, firm 
rind, keeps and bears ship- 
ment remarkably well. We 
know of no yellow fleshed 
sort so desirable for either 
the home or market gar- 
den.

This has become one 
of the most popular of 
small or basket melons, 
and is shipped in large 
quantities from Colo- 
rado and Arizona. The 
fruit is oval slightly rib- 
bed, densely covered 
with coarse netting. 
Flesh thick, green, very 
sweet and highly flavor- 
ed. We offer an ex- 
ceptionally fine stock 
of this sort, the fruit 
being wonderfully uni- 
form in shape and 
quality.

Send me price on different kinds of garden seeds. 
I have tried your seeds and think they are the best 
I have ever used. 
Louis Scherer, Mercer Co., Ohio. 
Your garden seeds that I sold last Fall are simply 
immense. M. Blue, Livingston Co., Mo. 
The Garden Seeds I sold have given good satis- 
faction. They came up quickly. 
T. A. Montgomery, Augusta Co., Va. 
I think that I can sell twice as much as last 
year. Did not find one person who had anything to 
say against your seeds. Thanking you for your 
square dealings, and hoping to be in the field for 
you again this Fall, I remain, 
Byron Brown, Cortland, Co., N. Y. 
It would do you good to see our lettuce and other 
vegetables from the seed which I got from you. 
They are fine and I am well pleased with all the 
seed which I have from you. 
M. A. Bortz, Mercer Co., Pa. 
Father had an enormous crop of Danish Cabbage 
from your seed which yielded him over 15 tons per 
acre and people came to his place for miles to see 
his crop. C. A. Prachel, Wayne Co., N. Y. 
I met a man here last night and he said he 
wanted some cabbage seed, and he said his neigh- 
bors had some last year and he said it was the 
best around here. 
Orlo Slatet, Outagimie Co., Wis. 
I grew 13*4 tons of Rock Red Cabbage from 
acre of your seed. One of my neighbors had 3 acres 
of Rock Red grown from other seed and he got only 
ten tons from the three acres. 
Henry Hosenfelt, Monroe Co., N. Y. 
Will say your seeds have given the best results. 
My garden attracts attention as one of the finest in 
the locality and I give credit to good pure seed, the 
kind that grows. 
Mrs. Lottie Spitler, Wood Co., Ohio. 
I purchased some of your garden seeds last spring 
from one of your agents, and would like to get some 
more this spring. They were the best seeds that I 
ever used. Will you please send me a catalogue?
