13 
Muskmelons 
One ounce will sow about 80 hills. 
Demands a light, sandy soil, and planting should not 
be done until the ground has become dry and warm. 
Seed resembles that of cucumber in shape, size and 
color. Sow 6 to 12 seeds to a hill, the hills to be 6 feet 
apart each way, and cover one-half inch deep. When 
the plants have produced their rough leaves, thin to 
three plants to a hill. Pinch out the ends of the grow- 
ing shoots to induce early fruiting. 
Honey or Sugar Rock. 85 days. A medium size, very 
productive sort with attractive appearance. Fruits are 
oval, not ribbed, and are heavily netted over a golden 
yellow rind, and will stand shipping and handling 
after ripening. It is an abundant yielder, a good 
shipper, but has won its wide popularity through its 
quality and superior flavor. 
Paul Rose. This Melon is a cross between the Osage 
and Netted Gem, and about 10 days earlier than the 
former. Of a size very suitable for shipping in bas- 
kets, it is becoming very popular in the market, espe- 
dally where its superior qualities are known. The 
thick, red flesh is exceptionally sweet. 
Banana. So called because of its shape. Melons large 
and thin-skinned, with salmon flesh of delicious qual¬ 
ity. Fine for the home garden. 
Emerald Gem. Considered by many to be one of the 
best salmon-fleshed Melons. It is a small variety, with 
dark green skin and flesh that is sweet and delicious. 
The vines yield heavily, and the fruits always sell well 
in the markets. 
Extra Early Hackensack. A good variety where an early 
crop is desired, and has so many good qualities that 
it has become immensely popular. The Melons are 
large, flat and well netted, and the flesh is thick, 
green, and of excellent flavor. Always a good seller 
on the market. 
Osage. A large, round, salmon-fleshed melon with light 
green, netted skin. The flesh is very thick and sweet. 
One of the best shipping Melons. 
Rocky Ford. The Melons are oval in shape and heavily 
netted, measuring about 5 inches in length. The 
smooth, light green flesh is delicious in flavor. A very 
good sort that has been on the market a long time 
But is still very popular with lovers of good Melons. 
Tip-Top. One of the most productive Melons, and 
good for either early or late crop. The fruit is large, 
nearly round, and moderately netted, and the flesh 
solid, sweet, juicy, of fine flavor, and can be eaten 
to the very rind. One of the best all-round Melons 
grown. 
Honey or Sugar Rock. 
Honey Dew Melon. The delicious honey-like flavor of 
this new Melon created a sensation wherever used 
last year. The fruit is of good size, weighing 6 to 8 
pounds, with light cream colored, smooth skin and 
thick, rich, sweet flesh of light green color. Rind 
thin but tough, and so close that the rich flesh is 
practically sealed up where it keeps in finest condi¬ 
tion for several months after it is ripe. 
Hearts of Gold. An ideal basket and crate Melon of 
medium size, with round, heavily netted skin and very 
thick rich sweet orange flesh. The average size of 
the Melon is 6 to 8 inches in diameter—a very con¬ 
venient size for the table and for packing in ship¬ 
ment. Matures in 75 days. The seed cavity is small 
and the rind is very tough, making it a good shipper. 
A vigorous grower and a heavy cropper. 
Okra or Gumbo 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill. 
Seed resembles that of sweet peas in shape, color and 
size, but has white tip on one side. Sow after the ground 
has become warm, 1 inch deep, in drills 4 feet apart, 
and thin to 12 inches apart. Should usually be picked 
two days after the blossoms have fallen, before the pods 
have become hard and stringy. 
White Velvet. A very good variety with smooth, vel¬ 
vety, long, white pods that are very tender and of 
superior flavor.
