MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE

-X-T3 oyi H pt**~? CliirnriCA • 05 days. We feel that this is 
^ -DCllUClo OUljJlioC. the mos t satisfactory melon 
that we grow. Due to a difference of opinion as to what the ideal 
Benders Surprise should be, there are a great many different types 
now on the market. Some have bred for size and have sacrificed 
quality. Our ideal has been a melon averaging 7 to 8 lbs. heavily 
netted, thick sweet orange yellow meat, firm but free from stringi¬ 
ness. Our supply of seed is limited this year on account of a severe 
hail storm. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.20; 34 lb. $.65; lb. $2.15. 
_A_T'\ ~1 j e • 86 days. This may be described as an early 
W DCiltlUUo • Bender. It is a comparatively new variety. 
The melons average about five pounds. A little flatter than Benders 
and 10 days earlier. The quality is very good. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.20; 
34 lb. $.65; lb. $2.15. 
An rhamolairi • 82 days. Said to be a cross be- 
kjoiuen V^nd.mpid.m . tween Emerald Gem and Ford- 
hook. A very early, salmon fleshed melon of medium size, flesh 
rather soft. The melon is round about 4 to 5 inches in diameter.

lar in the north. Dark green rind. Flesh rich scarlet, fine grained

V"\ nn rl ilr A • 82 days. An early variety, very popular in the 
. western states. In test at Cornell, Klondike 
has proven to be one of the best watermelons for our climate.

with slight ribs; rind medium hard. Flesh bright deep red, very 
sweet and tender, seeds small, black and white. Pkt. $.05; oz. 
$.15; 34 lb. $.40; lb. $1.15. 
PEPPERS 
1 oz. will produce 1500 plants 
TTprric 'C'cirltACt* We recommend this for an early vari- 
^ XkcH ilco L . e ty. The peppers are only medium 
size and the meat is rather thin but it is, we believe, the best of the 
early varieties of sweet peppers. It is a very heavy bearer. Pkt. 
$.10; oz. $.55; 34 lb. $1.70; lb. $5.70. 
TJ of . rl ‘ c T?ofbr dinnt • 63 days. One of the earliest of 
-^-Ulilb Jha.I\.y kJld.Hl . the large sweet peppers. It is 
of good quality, fairly productive but like Harris Earliest rather 
thin meated. It grows from 4 to 414 inches long by 334 inches in 
diameter. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.55; 34 lb. $1.70; lb. $5.70. 
Pfilifnr-niti WnnHAr • 75 days - This is the thickest 
V^diliUrilld W (JIlUcI • meated pepper that we know of. 
Fruits are large, 4 34 inches long by 4 inches thick. Very attractive, 
smooth, deep green, sweet and mild. Some growers feel that Cali¬ 
fornia Wonder is too late for the East but we have found that for 
green peppers the very thick meat makes it possible to pick it less 
mature that other varieties. Varies in productiveness in different 
soils. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.55; 34 lb. $1.70; lb. $5.70. 
diorvf rouormo • One of the best “hot peppers.” The
