SALZER’S EARLIEST 
RIPE MUSKMELON 
Earliest of All. Our attention was 
called to this Melon many years ago 
by a market gardener near La Crosse, 
who for the past years has always 
had Muskmelons from 8 to 15 days 
ahead of his neighbors. These 
IMelons were of uniform size, of 
line shape and appearance, yellow 
fleslied, extremely delicious, and 
sold readily in our markets from 
S1.U5 to Ijift.OO per dozen, the profit 
to an acre being something enor¬ 
mous, as all the Melons were 
usually sold before other sorts 
came into the market. 
THIS IS THE EARLIEST YEL¬ 
LOW-FLESHED MUSKMELON 
that we know of. being ready for 
the market in about 60 days after 
planting. It is of oval shape, as 
may be seen by the illustration, of 
good size, about fire inches in di¬ 
ameter, with fairly distinct rib¬ 
bing, heavily netted. The flesh is 
exceptionally thick, of a rich salmon- 
yellow color, sweet, luscious and 
melting, and tlie flavor is unsurpassed 
by that of any otlier variety. The 
viifes are robust and vigorous, resisting 
blight to a marked degree. Salzer’s 
Earliest Ripe is a distinct variety and 
should not be confused with other sorts. 
Mr. E. E. Goetschel. 1919 Kansas Ave.. 
Kansas City. Mo., writes: “I sent to you for 
1 lb. Earliest Kipe Muskmelon and began to 
sell melons early in July. Some of the stores 
would not believe that I raised them, but claimed 
I had shipped them in. They were wonderful quality 
and sold rapidl.v. Your seed gives big returns." It is 
an enormous cropper, bearing for a long time. We sold 
more than 100,000 packages of this Earliest Melon last 
year, and we have made just that many thousand melon 
growers pleased, delighted and happy. If you want to make 
money on Earliest Melons there is no other variety in the wide 
world that you can plant that will give quicker returns than SAL¬ 
ZER’S EARLIEST RIPE MUSKMELON.

A New Type of Muskmelon That Is Creating 
a Sensation! Also Known as Honey Rock! 
Salzer’s Sugar Rock is one of the most prolific 
melons on the market today. It is strikingly attrac¬ 
tive and distinct from all other sorts. Fruits are oval, 
of good large size, without ribbing and netted in the 
manner characteristic of these melons and from 
which they take their name. Matures in about 80 
days from sowing seed, in ordinary seasons. 
Pour characteristics describe this melon perfectly: 
productiveness, striking appearance, which always 
commands attention at market, quality, which backs 
up the appearance, and ability to stand shipiiing and 
handling. Market gardeners, these melons sell at 
fancy prices; customers want them! Home gar¬ 
deners, these melons will make your garden the 
envy of the neighborhood! The fiesh is deep and 
thick, orange color, with a sugary and luscious 
flavor that is unequaled today. It is so aro¬ 
matic that one melon, uncut, will scent a room 
with its delightful, sugary, muskmelon odor. 
The outside rind is light golden yellow over¬ 
laid with heavy gray netting, and is so tough 
that ripe melons may be picked and then 
shipped a long distance and arrive in good 
condition. Salzer’s Sugar Rock is not a Rocky- 
ford type, being earlier and about one-half 
larger in size. It is an entirely distinct melon! 
Vines are strong and vigorous and do not 
show any trace of blight.
