^VEGETABLE SEEDS 
MUSKMELONS 
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 prepared by digging 
out the soil IV 2 feet deep, thoroughly mixing in each hill a couple of shovelfuls of well-decom¬ 
posed 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. 
Eden Gem Cantaloupe. This 
is one of the finest melons 
to grow', either for market 
or home use. It is immense¬ 
ly prolific, 20 to 30 perfect 
melons to a vine being com¬ 
mon. It resists those condi¬ 
tions that cause "Rust” in 
other varieties, and is a 
good shipping sort. The 
skin is heavily netted, flesh 
light green and of excellent 
quality. A most desirable 
melon to plant. Pkt. 5 cts., 
oz. 15 cts., lb. $1.75. 
Burrell’s Tli-oroughbr e d 
Hockyford Cantaloupe. This 
is without doubt the finest 
strain of Rockyford on the 
market. Every melon is 
subjected to a rigid exam¬ 
ination before being se¬ 
lected for seed, and they 
must conform to a standard 
set down by what the orig¬ 
inator claims is the embod¬ 
iment of an ideal melon. 
Sold in sealed packages 
only, $1.75 per lb. 
Rocky Ford. The melons are 
regular and even in size, 
weighing about 1% pounds,

ly netted; flesh is light

the best melon growers in 
the country and is strictly 
first-class. Pkt. 5 cts., oz.
