Extra Early Sunrise. This new melon is a wonder. It will cer¬ 
tainly be the best money maker melon on this market for 
years to come. This melon is very early, it ripens as early 
as the Lake Champlain which is considered the earliest of 
all the yellow meated melons grown. The melons grow quite 
large, average 5 lbs. or more and are of oval shape, light 
golden yellow, and covered with fine netting; the flesh is 
firm deep orange yellow, and of high flavor, very sweet. 
The combination of earliness, high quality and good size, 
is not found in any other melon on this market. Growers 
will do well to give it a trial. All orders will be filled as 
received until supply of seed has been exhausted and would 
advise that if you are interested in obtaining a quantity of 
this seed that you get your order in at the earliest pos¬ 
sible date as the supply is limited. 75 days.10 .30 1.10 
Hales Best. A salmon fleshed Rocky Ford. A new and remark¬ 
ably early melon of the Rocky Ford type, with very thick 
and finely flavored salmon flesh. The melons are oval, 
slightly ribbed, and heavily netted. It is a fine shipper 
and commands a good price. 80 days.10 .30 1.00 
Honey Dew New Golden, A golden fleshed Honey Dew, a 
little earlier and smaller than the green meated. In order 
to develop it in this part of the country, start in pots under 
glass. On account of the delicious flavor, it commands a 
ready sale. It is the best keeper and will stay in good 
condition several weeks after it is ripe. Melons not ripe 
when frost comes may be stored in a cellar and will there 
ripen slowly and can be used all winter.$0.20 $0.50
