CULTURE—Plant when the ground is warm, figuring 
about three dozen hills from a packet of seed or 100 hills 
from an ounce. Give them plenty of room. Plant on rich 
soil. 
339 — OR¬ 
ANGE MEAT- 
ED NUTMEG. 
Medium size, 
a nice gray 
net, flesh thick 
fine grained 
and an appe¬ 
tizing orange- 
yellow color. 
Just think of 
the best melon 
you ever ate 
and if that 
was good e- 
nough it tasted 
like this one. 
word in qual- ORANGE MEATED NUTMEG 
ity. Tender, sweet and delicious. Don’t see how it could 
be better. Half an Orange Meated Nutmeg for breakfast 
will put you in a good humor for all day. 
It is a great improvement in melons. Put out a good 
sized patch so that you can have plenty for the family 
and some for your neighbors and friends. 
326— BANANA. Looks something like a huge banana. 
Quality fair. A little sugar helps the flavor. Orange flesh. 
327— BURREL'S GEM. An oblong orange fleshed melon 
a little larger than a Rocky Ford. Cracks open at the end 
during a rainy spell. Good quality. 
340—WHITE SEEDED DELICIOUS. Small to medium 
size, coarse net, good looking. Mighty good quality if well 
tended on good ground. 
334 — GREELEY 
WONDER. One of our 
favorites. A dandy fine 
melon. Flesh a rich 
o r a n g e-yellow, very 
thick and close grained. 
Has a real good musk- 
melon flavor. If you 
want a big melon that 
is really good to eat 
don’t see how you can 
beat it. 
335—GREEN MEAT¬ 
ED NUTMEG. Very 
early, small to medium 
size. Flesh not very 
thick and quality fair. 
333—HALE’S BEST. 
A well known commer¬ 
cial variety. Very early, 
medium size, mostly ob¬ 
long and well netted. 
Flesh salmon orange, 
quite thick, smooth and 
most generally good 
quality. Rather uneven 
in size and shape. 
344 — S T A N DA RD 
ROCKY FORD. The 
old green fleshed “dad- 
dy-of-t h e m-all” that 
made Rocky Ford, Col- GREELEY WONDER 
orado, famous. 
337—HONEY DEW. A distinct type and flavor. Very 
sweet and spicy. Late, tender growth and hard to grow 
but worth a lot of trouble. Large, green flesh, smooth 
skin. 
341—OSAGE. A good old variety that you can’t go 
wrong in planting. Medium size, oblong, green skin with 
a slight net. Real thick flesh, fine grained and smooth, 
and hard to beat. 
328— CALIFORNIA CREAM CANTELOUPE. A great 
big, oblong, heavy ribbed, yellow fleshed melon. 
329— EDWARD’S PERFECTO. An orange fleshed 
Rocky Ford. 
330 — EARLY HANOVER. 
Said to be the earliest melon 
grown. Green fleshed, oblong 
and a size larger than the 
Rocky Ford. Grow a few for 
real early and another kind 
for main crop. 
332—FIELD’S DAISY. This 
melon just exactly fills the 
bill if you want a good home 
melon. Thick, smooth, orange- 
colored flesh. Medium sized, 
round and dark green. Qual¬ 
ity just about perfect. Cer¬ 
tainly good eating. Don’t know of a melon that will come 
nearer pleasing everybody. 
342—PERFECTION. At one time a popular melon most¬ 
ly on account of size and looks. Large, almost round, 
heavily ribbed and a good yellow inside and out.

Help Your Plants Work 
Most plants will do better work if they are well fed with a balanced 
fertilizer. If your horse is poorly fed, he is a poor work animal. The 
same is true of plants. You can’t expect lots of pretty flowers and big 
crops if your plants lack food. See page 11 for further information.
