CULTURE—Melons thrive best in a light rich 
soil. Plant in May, w”hen the ground has become 
warm and dry, hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way for 
muskmelons. 8 to 10 feet for watermelons. Previous 
to sowing the seed, mix a shovelful of well rotted 
manure in each hill, and plant in each. 12 to 15 
seeds. After all danger of bugs is over, thin out 
to three or four plants per hill. A few hills for 
early use may be had by sowing on pieces of sod 
in a hotbed, and when warm enough transplant to 
open ground.

SUGAR ROCK (or Honey Rock)—This is 
a new and unusually fine melon. Sweet as 
sugar and solid as a rock. It has four main 
points of superiority; quality, productive¬ 
ness, ability to stand shipping and appear¬ 
ance. Its flavor and quality are the finest we 
have ever seen, the flesh being a very deep 
salmon color right out to the very rind. 
Under good growing conditions it is a very 
heavy yielder, often producing five to seven 
perfect melons on one vine. Its rind is un¬ 
usually hard, making it a good shipper.

SUPERFECTO—This variety is recognized as the 
highest development in cantaloupe an(d is especially 
recommended for planting where melons are inclined 
to rust as it is more rust resistant than most 
sorts. The netting is wedl developed and closely 
laced covering the entire melon. The interstices 
between the netting are small and bright green 
changing to orange green when full ripe. The flesh 
a rich orange 6almon, is very deep and the color 
shows through the rind where the melon touches 
the ground a day or two before the melon will slip 
enabling the careful picker to pick accurately. 
The quality is unexcelled. The flesh is fine grained, 
very sweet and spicy. Market growers now plant 
thousands of acres to our Superfecto cantaloupes.
