“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS. 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. -26— WETHERSFIELD. CONN. 
Golden Champlain Muskmelon 
Delicious — A new variety closely resem¬ 
bling Benders Surprise but of extra-early 
maturity, coming in nearly at the season of 
Golden Champlain. The light green, finely 
netted oval fruits have very tender flesh 
of a deep orange-yellow color and very 
rich, sweet flavor. They weigh about 5 
pounds, slightly smaller than Benders. 
(See Page 5). 
Golden Champlain — The earliest melon 
grown. It is medium sized and of fine 
quality and is of the Emerald Gem type. 
Where the gardener has difficulty in ripen¬ 
ing melons Golden Champlain is very 
valuable. Not a good shipping melon. 
Banana — Shaped somewhat as the name 
indicated; about 2^ feet long with flesh of 
a deep salmon color. Delicious flavor. 
MELON D’EAU WATERMELON MELONE D’AQUA 
Kleckly’s Sweet Watermelon 
A rich soil is essential; eight to ten seeds to the 
hill, covering one inch. When plants form leaves, 
thin to three plants. Plantings may be made with 
safety in May. 
One ounce to 20 hills , S to 4 pounds to 1 acre 
Stone Mountain — A very large, nearly round, 
blocky melon with a tough, dark-green rind and 
rich scarlet, very sweet flesh. Has very few seeds. 
The finest for home gardens, but not suited for 
shipping. 
Wondermelon — A long thick glossy green melon 
of surpassing flavor and sweet, juicy, deep red 
flesh. It has a thin rind and is not a good shipper 
but is one of the most prolific producers of all.
