MUSKMELON OR CANTALOUPE 
1 oz. will plant 100 hills 
* 95 da Y s - We feel that this is the most satis- 
^ . factory melon that we grow. Due to a differ¬ 
ence of opinion as to what the ideal Bender should be, there are 
a great many different types now on the market. Some have 
bred for size and have sacrificed quality. Our ideal has been a 
melon averaging 7 to 8 lbs. heavily netted, thick sweet orange yellow 
meat, firm but free from stringiness. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.20; Vi lb. $.65; 
T'JplipioilQ * 86 days. This may be described as an early 
^ uo • Bender. It is a comparatively new variety. 
The melons average about five pounds. A little flatter than Bender 
and 10 days earlier. The quality is very good. Pkt. $.10; oz. $.20; 
34 lb. $.65; lb. $2.15. 
Honey Rock: 
95 days. Also known as Sugar Rock. A 
new melon, nearly round, averaging 
about 4 lbs. Skin grey-green covered with coarse netting, flesh 
thick, juicy, orange-salmon, fine flavor. Good for home garden

when planted 
^Ebenezer or “Japanese” Sets: 
These sets were produced on rich sandy loam and are the 
finest we have offered in years. They have been carefully 
cured and graded and are now in storage. 
These sets can be used for green onions or may be left
