No. 250. Wood’s Early Rocky Ford S” 
ness. It is a week to ten days earlier than the original Rocky 
Ford, like it in shape, but a little larger. The melons are heav¬ 
ily netted, have small seed cavity, firm and thick green flesh, 
and are attractive in both shape and color. The flavor is de¬ 
liciously sweet and spicy. It is early, prolific and of fine quality. 
This is just the melon to follow our Extra Early Hanover. It has 
that spicy flavor found only in the best cantaloupes. Pkt. 10c;

shows the shape and 
coarse netting of this 
really outstanding melon, 
but does not, and cannot, 
show the sugary, lus¬ 
cious flavor of the deep, 
thick, orange colored 
flesh. In this respect it is 
comparable only with 
our Holly brook Lus¬ 
cious; no other melon we 
have ever grown is its 
equal in flavor and qual¬ 
ity. It is fairly early and 
a heavy yielder, often as 
many as five to seven 
fruits, larger than the 
Rocky Ford, are pro¬

No. 248. Wood’s Perfection Cantaloupe an 
orange fleshed cantaloupes; beautiful in appearance, but the de¬ 
liciously sweet, spicy flavor of its fine-grained, thick, solid flesh 
is its outstanding characteristic. In these respects we have 
never offered a melon that is its equal. There is no trace of 
stringiness; the flesh is so thick that the seed cavity is unusually 
small; it is covered with a lace-like netting over the entire melon. 
We recommend it to everyone as a melon of surpassing quality 
and fine delicious flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20o; 14 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00;

CANTALOUPE OR MUSKMELON 
Colorado Grown. Plant in May and June* 
CULTURE — Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, moderately dry sandy soil, 
using - well-rotted manure. When frost is over, plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about 
one inch deep, and when well up, thin out, leaving' four strong - plants to the hill. 
Pinch off the ends of the vines when about a foot long'; this will make them strong 1 
and bear more freely. G-ive frequent but shallow cultivation till the 
vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucumbers, squashes, etc. 
One ounce plants 50 hills; two pounds to the acre.
