MUSKMELON 
Isbell's Lake Champlain 
Famous for Earliness. 
This is the earliest Muskmelon of good quality and it is still 
unbeatable as a first early sort either for home or market. Since 
we first introduced this melon 12 years ago, we have 
steadily improved the size and appearance without sacri¬ 
ficing earliness. The vines are hardy, vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. The melons are nearly round, medium in size 
and well netted. The flesh is thick, fine grained and very 
sweet, of a rich deep golden yellow color. No matter what 
other sorts you grow, you should have some Lake Cham¬ 
plain as they will ripen at least a week before any other 
sort. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, prepaid. 
Honey Rock is a medium early variety and the vines are hardy 
and vigorous. Because the Melons are so solid and heavily netted 
it is a good shipping sort and the size is just right. It has with¬ 
stood the drought of the last three seasons extremely well and 
has been a real money maker. The Melon that replaces Honey 
Rock in the popular fancy will indeed be a super-Melon. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, prepaid.

Muskmelon. 
Muskmelon—Honey Rock 
Muskmelon—Hale’s Best 
This Melon is now grown extensively in several of the 
large Melon growing sections. It is an excellent shipper 
and of very fine quality. The flesh is of a salmon-pink 
color clear to the rind, which is well ribbed and netted. 
The quality is uniformly good ; in flavor it is excellent, being 
sweet and aromatic. Of oval shape, medium in size, about 8 
inches long by 5 inches in diameter. Medium early, and a good 
yielder. This is one of the best Melons to ship to distant markets. 
In the greatest Melon growing district in the U. S. A., the Im¬ 
perial Valley of California, Hale’s Best is one of the leading 
sorts. Here in our section this Melon did well and withstood the 
drought to a remarkable degree. We supply Michigan-grown seed. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 45c; lb., $1.25, prepaid. 
Also Called Sugar Rock. See Color Plate Inside Front Cover. 
Few Melons have ever become so immensely popular in such a short 
time as Honey Rock. It surely has captured the fancy of the 
Melon eating public from Maine to Florida, and it fully de¬ 
serves the acclaim it has received. When we introduced this Melon 
five years ago we freely predicted that it would be a winner but 
we never expected it to be such a general favorite in so short 
a time. Wide awake Melon growers have been quick to sense the 
demand for Honey Rocks and have cashed in with them. 
Honey Rock is especially noted for the rich, melting sweetness 
of the highly colored golden flesh. In shape the Melons are slight¬ 
ly oval or nearly round, averaging about six inches in diameter. 
They are completely covered with a heavy coarse netting which 
is a great protection in handling and shipping. The plants are 
heavy bearers, commonly setting seven or more fruits. The Melons 
are remarkably uniform in size, shape and flavor. They are very 
attractive and their characteristic heavy netting makes them 
easy to distinguish by the consumer. 
Michigan Yellow Globe Onion, 
Lettuce—Creamy Heart 
Creamy Heart is a new variety, showing great improvement over 
other varieties of the butter-head type. It is earlier, without any brown 
spots or brown edge, has fine flavor and is very tender. The compact 
heads bleach to a rich creamy yellow and are very solid. Creamy Heart 
is a desirable sort for the home garden and a profitable market sort 
for early spring planting. It is much superior to the old standard 
varieties in this class. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 65c; lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
Onion—Michigan Yellow Globe 
Brigham Strain 
This improved strain of Yellow Globe was developed in the great 
Onion producing district of Southwestern Michigan by one of the 
largest commercial growers and shippers, after years of careful selec¬ 
tion. It is the heaviest yielding and best keeping Yellow Globe Onion 
grown in this state. Ripens early and has the fine yellow color of 
Southport. Bulbs grow to large size and are very solid. Onion buyers 
take these first in preference to other sorts and usually pay a premium 
for them on account of their fine size and appearance and wonderful 
keeping quality. Our supply of seed is limited, so order early. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; Vi lb., 85c; lb., $2.75, prepaid. 
Pepper—California Wonder 
This splendid new Pepper is noted for its extremely large size, hand¬ 
some appearance and fine quality. The smooth oblong fruits often grow 
4 inches in diameter and 5 inches or more in length. They are a deep 
glossy green, turning to brilliant scarlet when ripe. The flesh is nearly 
twice as thick as other sorts and very mild and sweet. The plants are 
abundant yielders and set many fruits. Because of its many fine quali¬ 
ties this Pepper is rapidly becoming a leading variety both for home 
and market. Pkt., 10c; y, oz., 30c; oz., 50c; *4 lb., $1.50; lb., $5.50, 
prepaid.
