BOOK OF VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 
sy i t jt O /~f * & ee Front Cover— Casabas may be somewhat new to our custom- 
I in n Ana riflUPV Q51 sers but as they have now become a commercial commodity we are 
^W-IIW VUuUUU offering what we consider the very best one for all sections of the 
country and it is known as Gold and Honey. It is a handsome variety. The shape and color is shown on the front 
cover of this Seed Book. It should be planted after all danger of frost in spring and cultivated about the same as musk 
melons. They are a little later in ripening than musk melons but just before frost in the fall all the fruit even half grown 
■hould be picked and put in a dry place where they will ripen-gradually and give a continual supply all winter. Here is 
where their great value comes in. Think of it, fruit all winter. We are sure that this new Casaba “Gold and 
Honey” wilfgive our customers great satisfaction and prove a real novelty in any garden. Do not fail to give it a trial 
this year. Pkt., <><%, 3 pkts., 15c., 6 pkts., 2 5c., 12 pkts., 45c. 
OUR NEW CANTALOUPE 
“PINK MpAT”- Wehave offereda 
r I11IV iM La I “great many vari¬ 
eties of Cantaloupes during the past few 
years, but we have never had one that we 
think will equal this grand new sort, “Pink 
Meat." The originator, who is a large 
melon grower in Colorado, when first call¬ 
ing our attention to this new variety, at 
the same time sent us a sample crate, in 
order that we might not only test the 
quality, but note theextra shipping quali - 
ties. These melons were received in the 
very best condition after being shipped 
such a long distance and we must admit 
that the quality was superior to any Cante- 
loupe we have ever tested. It is a cross 
between the Rockyford and Emerald Gem 
and the variety has been carefully grown 
for the past four years and the entire crop 
comes true in flavor and netting each year. 
It has been found to be the best shipping 
melon grown by the originators and they 
guarantee their stock to come true every 
time. The flesh of this new melon is a 
pink or orange color; seed cavity is very 
small and the flesh is solid, of the best 
quality and very close to the rind. The 
rind is very tough, yet thin, well arched 
ribs covered with laced and interlaced grey 
netting. Taking all points into considera¬ 
tion we are sure our customers will say, 
th is is the grandest Cantaloupe ever grown. 
By all means give it a trial this year.
