MELON 
Bender’s Surprise 
Melons do best in 
sandy soil or sod 
land; hills should 
be four feet apart 
with ten to twelve 
seeds in each hill 
and when danger 
of frost is over thin 
to four good plants 
in each hill. Culti¬ 
vate as long as 
possible. Plant in 
May or June. 
One ounce sows 50 
hills , two pounds 
one acre 
GREEN FLESHED 
Extra Early Hackensack —Medium sized, nearly 
round, deep ribbed, very coarse netting. Good 
flavor. 
Rocky Ford —Light green and of excellent flavor 
with a small seed cavity. Small, round, smooth 
and heavily netted. Excellent shipper and one 
of the most popular sorts. 
Honey Dew —Marvelously sweet honey-like flavor. 
Fruit large, smooth and cream colored, somewhat 
oval shaped. Growing in popularity all the time. 
SALMON FLESHED 
Honey Rock — A wonderful new golden-yellow 
fleshed melon rivaling a honey comb in luscious 
sweetness and of easy culture. 
Emerald Gem —Excellent early sort, fruit slightly 
flat, lightly netted, flesh thick and rich, deli¬ 
ciously flavored with a small seed cavity. 
Osage or Miller’s Cream—Fruit large, round, 
slightly ribbed, dark green. Flesh thick and of 
the finest quality. 
Hearts of Gold—Medium size, ideal shipping 
melon and very desirable for the home garden. 
Fruit is round and uniform in size. Netting fine 
and dense. Rind thin and firm and flesh is firm 
and thick, of fine texture and deliciously flavored. 
Hales Best — A remarkable early shipping melon, 
which is oval in shape, about 6 inches by 
with heavy netting and distinct ribbing. The 
flesh is exceptionally thick and deep salmon in 
color. Very promising and profitable. 
Bender’s Surprise—There is no large melon which 
can compare with the Benders. It is medium 
early with deep orange flesh which is very thick 
and deliciously sweet. The fruit is oval shaped, 
light green with fine netting and turns a golden 
yellow when ripe. It attains large size and keeps 
and ships splendidly. Our seed is from hand cut 
melons only.
