Wasser-Melone (Ger.) 
Cocomero d'acqua (It.) 
WATERMELONS 
A packet of seed will plant about 8 hills; an ounce 25 to 30 hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre. 
Anyone who has light sandy soil can raise good watermelons. 
The best varieties to grow depends upon the length of the season. In 
the north, where the summers are short, Hungarian Honey, Wonder Melon, 
Fordhook Early, and Stone Mountain are the most certain to ripen. 
WONDER MELON. (New.) We can highly recommend this variety 
both for the home garden and roadside stand. This melon is the largest 
and best of the longer varieties which can be successfully raised here in 
the North. 
The melons are oblong in shape with dark green skin and the flesh 
deep bright red and of very fine quality. This is an early vigorous grower 
and large crops can be raised here in the North. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
STONE MOUNTAIN. (Sometimes known as “Dixie Belle.”) Although 
this new melon was first introduced in the South it is one of the best 
varieties for the North we know of. During the past season in our trials 
it was among the earliest to ripen and is one of the surest kinds for 
raising here in the North. The melons are of large size almost round 
and dark green. The flesh is deep red and of the highest quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. Best for cool climates. This extra early variety 
grows well in a fairly cool climate and is, therefore, very desirable in 
the northern parts of the country where watermelons ordinarily will not 
ripen. Almost as large as Stone Mountain, slightly oval, dark green 
mottled with darker stripes. The flesh is bright red and of fine quality. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
HUNGARIAN HONEY. The sweetest watermelon. This is one of 
the very best early melons for home use. The melons not large but they 
ripen very early and are deliciously sweet, with firm, solid, deep red flesh, 
and small black seeds. The fruit is nearly round and dark green. Those 
who want an early melon of superior quality should plant this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
WINTER QUEEN. These unusual melons have a white skin with deep 
red flesh of superb quality. They are round, of medium size, and if 
picked before frost will keep for several months. An excellent variety 
for the home garden, and for markets where known. Try these. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
Ice Cream or Peerless. (White Seeded.) Medium early and of fine 
quality. Quite long, medium green and large. Flesh is bright red, firm, 
sweet, crisp. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

appearance and of very mild, pleasant flavor. The leaves are curled and 
fringed, and the plant remains longer without running to seed than other 
kinds except the new Long Standing.

New LONG STANDING Mustard 
A 1934 All American Selection

addition will stand three to four weeks longer than the old kinds without 
going to seed. This is a great advantage both for the home garden and 
commercial growers.

York State and in favorable seasons farther north.

Halbert Honey. Medium early. Can be successfully raised in some of 
the northern states. Quite long with blunt ends; deep green with rich, 
deep red, sugary flesh, extending to within an inch of the outside shell. 
Rind is rather thin for a good shipping melon. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
CITRON 
Colorado Preserving. Green Seeded. This melon is used extensively 
for making preserves. The rind is thick and clear white, and makes 
preserves of excellent quality. Cultivation similar to watermelons. The 
fruit is round striped and handsomely marbled. This variety has green 
seeds and is much larger and better than the red seeded citron. It will 
succeed and bear large crops in the North even in unfavorable seasons.
