Chinese Celery Cabbage 
Chinese Celery Cabbage 
CHINESE CABBAGE—The strain we offer resembles, when well grown, Cos Lettuce rather than 
Cabbage. It is often called Celery Cabbage on the market. The leaves when young are crimped, of 
light green color and appear like Smooth leaved mustard, but with much broader and heavier midribs. 
The plant as it matures becomes more upright and forms heads much like Cos Lettuce. The inner 
leaves blanch an attractive light yellow or creamy white with very white midribs. It is of distinctive 
flavor, very mild and pleasant. It is served as a salad like lettuce or when cooked makes greens 
delicately cabbage-flavored and not at all like boiled cabbage. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % lb., 85c, postpaid. 
Cantaloupe—A Money Making Crop 
CULTURE—Melons thrive best in a light rich soil. Rich earth for the 
young plants is far better than manure, but if the latter must be used, see 
that it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed with the soil. Plant the seed 
in hills 6 feet apart each way, dropping 10 to 20 seeds in a hill. When up 
and all danger of insects has passed, pull out all but three plants. Culti¬ 
vate until the vines cover the ground. 
SALMON-TINT POLLOCK (See illustration)—This is an early melon 
of the solid netted type that is so desirable. Very small seed cavity, with 
thick, luscious flesh of genuine salmon tint shading to green near the rind. 
A splendid keeper that stands shipping and always arrives in the best 
possible condition. It has been successful in the East, in the West, in the 
South. It is a prolific yielder and has been pronounced by every one who 
has used it as the ultimate in salmon-fleshed melons. A reselected and much 
improved strain of the original Pollock and Salmon-Tint Pollock No. 25. 
Matures in about 70 days and is rust resistant. Hand cut fancy selected seed.

HONEY DEW—Sweet as honey. The round melons average 8 inches 
in diameter and weigh 6 to 8 pounds. The light cream-colored skin is 
smooth and hard, without netting or ribbing. Sweet, spicy flavored flesh 
of a pale emerald-green color and edible to the very rind. The seed- 
cavity is exceedingly small. If picked shortly before fully mature and 
properly stored, the fruits will keep a long time. Matures in 100 days. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 40c; Vz lb., 70c; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
IMPROVED ROCKY FORD—This is the most popular and finest of all 
green-fleshed melons. The vines are of strong, healthy growth, compara¬ 
tively short and branch freely. They set a large number of fruits close 
to the hill. The melons are even and regular in size and form,, nearly 
round or slightly oval. A pure Rocky Ford cantaloupe when ripe has 
a silver-colored netting which is lace-like in appearance. The skin is 
green, turning to a peculiar gray color when the melon is fit for shipping. 
The flesh is green and so sweet and luscious that it may be eaten close 
to the rind. The melons have a small seed cavity, and the portion of the 
flesh immediately surrounding it is tinged with a beautiful golden yellow.
