308-A Cabbage—Marion Market 
443 -A Musk Melon (85 Day) 
Honey Rock or Sugar Rock 
Honey Roek is well known as the most 
profitable market melon in the melon growing 
districts of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. It is 
of superior flavor, a great shipper and com¬ 
mands the highest prices always. 
Honey Rock has four characteristics, which 
are outstanding. These are: first, quality— 
second, productiveness—third, ability to stand 
shipping and handling—fourth, striking ap¬ 
pearance. This Melon has deep orange flesh 
with a flavor different from other sorts, which 
can only be appreciated by tasting. It has 
won its way so far, mostly on account of its 
wonderful sweetness. 
Honey Rock is one of the most prolific varie¬ 
ties grown. Five to seven perfect fruits are pro¬ 
duced on one vine and often more. The rind is 
so tough and the flesh so firm that they can be 
allowed to ripen on the vine and then shipped 
long distances and arrive in perfect condition. 
The appearance of Honey Rock Melons is strik¬ 
ingly attractive, and distinct from all other sorts. 
The fruits are oval and medium in size, and are 
not ribbed. Packet, 10 cts.; 18 cts.; X A lb., 45 
cts.; y» lb., 80 cts.; lb., $1.50; 2 lbs., $2.85, post¬ 
paid. 
47sy 2 Japanese Mustard-Spinach 
Also Called Tendergreens 
Oriental origin. In Japan it takes the place 
of spinach, remains tender in dry weather. Vir¬ 
tually an all season plant. Withstands extreme 
summer heat, also resistant to cold weather. 
The large, oblong leaves are dark green in color 
with a very small center rib. The leaves are 
cooked and prepared for table the same as spin¬ 
ach and turnip or mustard greens. It compares 
favorably to these greens in eating qualities.

thin roots about 2 or 3 inches in length. Packet, 
5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.-; % lb., 40 cts.;

308-A Cabbage—Marion Market 
Yellows Disease Resistant Strain of Copenhagen 
Market—Also Known as Iacope 
This is the latest introduction of an improved strain of 
Copenhagen Market Cabbage bred under the direction of 
the Wisconsin Agricultural College. It has given wonder¬ 
ful satisfaction in fields badly diseased with yellows. It 
produces profitable crops where ordinary strains (not 
yellows disease resistant) have proven complete failures. 
Marion Market is one of the earliest Round Headed types 
producing heads 8 to 10 pounds perfectly formed with few 
outer leaves. We highly recommend this to all and espe¬ 
cially to those of you who have fields that show even a 
trace of (Cabbage Yellows). Packet, 10' cts.; oz„ 34 cts.; 
Vi lb., 98 cts.; lb., $1.84; lb., $3.50; 2 lbs* $0.85, postpaid. 
65oy 2 Tomato—Ox-Heart 
The Pride ot Every Neighborhood—Enormous 
Size—Oxheart Shape 
The home gardener who delights in introducing un¬ 
usually good things into his neighborhood will be amply 
repaid by including Oxheart in his garden plans this 
spring. Among large fruited tomatoes this variety is 
unique. In form it is distinct, since it is almost exactly 
the shape of a heart as the name implies, and single fruits 
sometimes weigh more than two pounds. This surprising 
weight is due to exceptional size and solidity. When 
sliced, it does not show the large seed compartments of 
other tomatoes, but looks more like tender steak. This 
firm red flesh is non-acid, but instead of being flat¬ 
tasting it has a pleasing flavor. Packet, 15 cts.; y, oz., 
55 cts.; oz„ 95 cts.; *4 lb., $3.00; lb., $5.50; lb* $10.00, 
postpaid. 
shown that it is slightly earlier than our stocks 
of Marglobe. The vines are vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. We have found that their open habit 
and the comparatively scant foliage tend to ex¬ 
pose the fruits so that in clear hot Weather they 
are likely to sunburn. In the trucking district's 
where fruits are harvested before fully ripe and 
the danger of sunburn is not so g'reat, this 
variety has given excellent satisfaction. Packet, 
10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; *4 lb., $1.15; % lb., $2,15; lb., 
$4.10; 2 lbs., $8.00, postpaid.
