New Golden Melodew ( Trade Mark) 
(By Permission) 
T ‘HIS new melon was discovered and developed by J. E. Gauger, deceased (who introduced 
and named the Honey Dew). The Melodew was first introduced in a small way, season 
1931, by the Melodew Company, Walter Higbee (son-in-law of the late J. E. Gauger) and 
Jerre Cover, well-known local seedsmen, leading members of the Company, deserve full credit 
for its introduction. 
It resembles the Honey Dew in color of rind and flesh. The true type runs oval in shape 
and medium size; the golden rind is covered by a pearly-grey netting which gives it a most 
attractive appearance. The rich, spicy flavor appears to be a combination of that of the 
Honey Dew and cantaloupe and is highly praised by all lovers of melons. 
It can be picked and shipped about the same as the Honey Dew and is fully two weeks 
earlier than that variety. 
The seed we offer was grown from the introducers’ stock. There is none better. This 
new melon should soon become one of the leading commercial varieties.

HOTKAP-PLANT COVERS 
. . . This Amazing New Method of 
Plant Protection gets you Higher 
Prices for Larger and Quicker Crops 
Last year thousands of growers added 
to the value of their vine crops by using 
Germaco HOTKAPS — shown here. 
This remarkable invention consists of 
a scientifically constructed wax-paper 
cone that you place over each plant. 
Thus they are miniature hothouses 
that protect plants from frost, wind, 
rain, insects and ground crusting. 
HOTKAPS not only protect plants, 
but make them grow hardier and faster. 
Thus you get a greater crop production 
to market earlier for higher prices! 
You can add to your next year’s 
profit with HOTKAPS. They cost but 
a fraction over a penny each. One man 
can "set” 3,000 HOTKAPS per day. 
They not only bring you higher prices, 
but are a method of crop insurance— 
against the danger of the elements.
