It seems too bad that the various types of Klondike 
are not adapted to the east and south of this country. I 
have never observed melons that so fully meet the ap¬ 
proval of eye and taste as do Klondike. They are not only 
handsome outwardly, but more so when cut, and no other 
melon approaches them for edible qualities. 
Improved Kleckley’s Sweet to the writer seems al¬ 
most a perfect melon for all sections. I can not see any 
way in which it can be improved. It has the earliness, 
size and quality that should fill every need. The only 
criticism, if there is any criticism, is the extremely large 
size to which they grow. The average housewife can not, 
as a rule, use one. This means the retailer must sell halves 
which is not very efficient. 
SQUASH 
Squaghetti is a novel introduction. When cooked the 
flesh separates into strings quite similar to spaghetti— 
the quality is quite good too. Probably will remain an in¬ 
teresting novelty. 
The two strains of Banana Squash—blue and pink— 
should be listed by every seedsman. I am convinced that 
they are more or less “bug proof”—we have observed 
Banana growing in fine shape, when all other winter 
types were complete failures. To the uninitiated the 
shape of them may appear awkward but the edible qual¬ 
ities and their ability to always “produce” outweigh any 
disadvantage as to shape or size. 
Buttercup will likely remain a novelty. The quality 
is fine, but to the writer its outside appearance does not 
attract. 
Bennings Green Tinted Scallop continues to grow 
in popularity. The delicate green tint when edible is quite 
attractive. 
Black Zucchini continues moderately popular. There 
is no advantage in this strain over the regular gray 
variety.
