Casaba Melons 
PLANT MORE CASABAS 
Cultivate the same as muskmelon, and plant, ac¬ 
cording to your locality, lrom February 15 until July 
16, for late shipping', June 1 to August 1 seems to be 
the best time for planting. 
Picking at the proper time is very important. If 
desired for immediate use do not pick until the rind 
will give under pressure, using the thumb to deter¬ 
mine this. If rind is firm the melon is not ripe and 
full flavor has not yet developed. 
Casabas can be picked green and held in storage 
until ripe. Green melons are used for shipments of 
any distance. Do not pick for shipment until the 
melon has lost its shiny appearance. 
YELLOW OR GOLDEN FLESHED HONEY DEW 
—When the Honey Dew melon was introduced it im¬ 
mediately became popular. One would not believe 
another melon could be better, but the Honey Dew 
hybridized with the Tip-Top produced a melon of 
the same outside appearance as the Honey Dew with 
a deep yellow flesh that is positively more delicious. 
Do not hesitate to plant it if for the home garden or 
for shipping. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (i/ 4 lb. 75c); (1 lb.

GREEN FLESHED HONEY DEW— Flesh is light 
green and sweet as honey. The rind is light or silvery 
gray in color, smooth as an egg and hard as the rind

GOLDEN BEAUTY —Grows from six to eight inches 
in diameter, nearly round, color a perfect golden yel¬ 
low and rind very hard. This is perhaps the best 
flavored variety of casaba. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (Vi lb.

CULTURE —Plant the seed in a furrow, dropping 
six seeds every eight or ten feet apart; cover about 
two inches. As the vines grow, hill the earth about 
them until the roots are 10 to 12 inches deep. When 
the vines are safely established, thin out, leaving only 
two vines to the hill. It is a good plan to establish 
your rows by throwing the soil toward the center, 
with one round of plowing, and cultivate every week 
during the early growth of the plants. This gives 
deep cultivation at the time it is needed, mulches the 
soil properly, makes proper rows slightly raised in 
the center, allowing a low place between for irrigat¬ 
ing, as soon as the nature of the soil will permit. If 
these instructions are carefully followed you will have 
thrifty vines throughout the season. 
Use one ounce of seed for the average garden. One 
ounce will plant 20 to 30 hills. Three pounds is re¬ 
quired to the acre. 
For melon Aphis use Nicotine Dust or Black Leaf 
10 with Fish Oil soap. 
Hot Kaps are excellent protectors from late frosts. 
Have them ready for your melons. 
KLONDIKE —This is now, indisputably, the most 
popular melon on the market. It is popular with the 
grower because it is wonderfully adapted to dry 
larming, very prolific, early, long and continuous 
bearing. The seed is small, one pound of Klondike 
will number as many as two pounds of other varieties. 
The color of the seed is brown, mottled black. The 
flesh is bright red, tender and deliciously sweet. (Pkt. 
5c); (oz. 20c); (i/ 4 lb. 65c); (1 lb. $2.00); postpaid. 
KLECKLEY’S SWEET —Kleckley’s Sweet has giv¬ 
en wonderful results and each year we find the sale 
increasing. It is an excellent shipper, ripens early 
and the flavor is fine. 
By careful selection we have produced a uniform 
size, medium rind and a bright red flesh. For local 
market or for shipping you will find Kleckley’s Sweet 
a winner. (Pkt. 5c); (oz. 20c); (i/ 4 lb. 40c); (1 lb. 
$1.25); postpaid. 
WHITE SEED CHILIAN— By far the most popular 
melon for home garden, it being small and of very 
fine flavor. Flesh a rich, deep red, ripening to a 
very thin rind. It is almost round in shape, having
