HARDY , NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS 
17 
MUSK MELON 
EXTRA EARLY OSAGE. In this variety we have 
gained a week to ten days in earliness over 
the original Osage without sacrificing any of 
the good qualities of that sort. It is a trifle 
smaller and the netting extends more over 
the surface. The deep salmon fish is thick 
and sweet and seed cavity small. Gardeners 
will find this a most prolific sort to grow 
where the market demands an Osage melon, 
and we also recommend it for a home gar¬ 
den. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; ^ lh., 60c; lh., 
$ 2 . 00 . 
PUMPKINS 
NEW ENGLAND SUGAR OR PIE. Small round

vorite and more generally grown than any 
other variety. Roots are large and smooth and 
are tender with a sweet flavor. They grow to 
about 15 inches in length with a 3-inch 
crown. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c. 
RADISHES 
Every one who plans a garden should have a few packages of radish seed planted. CUL¬ 
TURE: For forcing, seeds may be started in a hot bed. Seed may be sown outdoors as soon as the 
ground can be worked. Sow thinly and when the plants are young pull out the weakest to avoid 
having them crowded. We especially recommend the varieties listeil below as being the best of 
their respective types.
