EDEN GEM CANTALOUPE 
LARGE HACKENSACK 
MONTREAL MARKET 
Melon Almizeleno Cantalupen Muscade 
Select light, warm soil, plant in hills 6 feet apart each way, six or eight seeds to the 
hill; thin out to three or four plants when in a forward state. The hills should be pre¬ 
pared by digging out the soil 1§ feet deep, thoroughly mixing in each hill a couple of 
shovelfuls of well-decomposed stable manure, filling up a little above the level. The 
planting should be deferred until warm, settled weather. One ounce of seed will plant 
about 100 hills. 
GREEN FLESHED VARIETIES 
Rocky Ford. The melons are regular and even in size, weighing 
about 1^ pounds, slightly oval in shape, finely netted; flesh is 
light green in color and of delicious flavor. The seed we offer 
was saved by one of the best melon growers in the country and 
is strictly first-class.
