220— A—HALE’S BEST— 85 Days—Of the thousands of acres of 
cantaloupes grown in the Imperial Valley of California each ! 
year more than 90% are Hale’s Best, producing melons of uni¬ 
form standard size, 90% of which are completely covered with 
beautiful gray, lace-like netting which, with the small seed 
cavity, are the most essential points in carrying and keeping 
qualities of the cantaloupe. The flesh is green, tinged with a 
delicate salmon-pink around the seed cavity, which is the 
smallest of any strain in Rocky Ford. The flesh is firm but 
not tough or stringy, and has a sweet, luscious, melting and 
superb flavor. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 15c; 34 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.15, post paid 
221— POLLOCK’S 10-25 (Salmon-Fleshed Eden Gem)—A sal¬ 
mon-tinted, rust - resisting cantaloupe that has become 
popular on the market because of its superior qualities. 
It is a heavy yielder and one of the best long distance 
shippers we know of. It is nearly as early as the Eden Gem 
and very prolific. The melons run very uniform in size. 
In shape it is a trifle longer than the Eden Gem, practically 
all run solid net, without any indication of the ribs. The 
netting is extremely heavy and very light colored when 
matured. The seed cavity is small. 
Pkt.,. 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 34 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 90c 
222— BUCK BRAND (Surprise)—The nearest thing to the 
old-fashioned muskmelon that you can get. Fruit round, 
slightly oblong, with a very thin, nearly smooth, gray-green 
skin; flesh thick and of deep salmon color. For flavor and 
size combined this is the king of all melons. Too large to 
be profitable for market—they often weigh 15 to 20 pounds— 
they are ideal for home use; one melon is enough for a 
family. Continues bearing till cold weather and holds its 
splendid quality up to the very last. 
Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 15c; 34 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.25 
229—BUCHANAN’S OSAGE (Salmon-Fleshed)—An extremely 
high quality salmon-fleshed melon, a profitable variety to 
grow for market and a desirable melon for the home garden. 
An excellent main crop melon, medium to large size, and 
does well on both heavy and sandy soils. The fruits are 
slightly oval, dark green, slightly ribbed and partly covered 
with shallow gray netting. The flesh is rich orange salmon, 
very thick, fine grained and highly flavored. It is a favorite 
variety among growers for the later markets. This is the 
melon shipped into Memphis by the carload from the west 
and southwest during August and September.

asked us to put out a mixture of Cantaloupes or Musk- 
melons, so we have included in this mixture seeds that will 
produce early, medium, late, green-fleshed, orange-fleshed 
varieties, thus producing a continuous table supply through¬ 
out the season from one small plot.
