Early Netted Gem Cantaloupe 
ROCKYFORD (Origina! 
A popular early variety of 
cantaloupe adapted to the en- 
tire South for market and home use. True 
type of the original Rockyford is show'n by 
the illustration and if you are only grow'- 
ing for home use or nearby markets you 
will find this an entirely satisfactory vari- 
ety. For the shipper where standard size 
and heaviest netting are all important we 
do not recommend this variety as it is far 
inferior to the Eden Gem, shown on the 
opposite page. The Rockyford is regularly 
ribbed, W'ell netted, good size, has thick 
green flesh of delicious flavor. Our seed is 
from crops grown exclusively for seed pur- 
poses and is not the seed from the tail end 
of Southern and Colorado shipping crops 
such as is commonlv sold. This “cull’ seed 
is offered to us regularly every year at from 
10 to 25 cents per pound and is sold to seeds- 
men and dealers every year w'ho are thus 
able to make cut prices. If you are willing 
to plant “cull” seed kindly apply elsewhere 
for it. We do not buy it or have it for sale. 
The personal inspection w'ork given 9 ur 
crops everv year saves you from getting 
trash of that kind not only in Rockyford 
cantaloupes, but hundreds of other items 
found in this catalogue. Genuine Rockyford 
cantaloupe, original strain: Packet, 5 cents; 
ounce. 10 cents; % pound, 25 cents; pound, 
80 cents; postpaid. 10-pound lots or over, 
not prepaid, 65 cents per pound. 
Extra Early Hackensack 
One of the best for home use and nearby 
markets, but too large for shipping. Good 
size, 3 to 5 pounds, quality extra fine, meat 
thick W'ith rich, spicy flavor. Skin densely 
netted. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % 
pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents; postpaid. 
Almost sun- and insect- 
Dani|Ut;l proof: extra fine quality 
variety. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; %
