Imperial Cantaloupe - - Award of Merit 
The flesh is salmon colored, a deep 
rich shade; the seed cavity is extreme¬ 
ly small. This prohibits the breaking 
loose of the seed in long distance ship¬ 
ments. The rind is light colored and 
strong, fairly well covered with a gray¬ 
ish netting. Its chief value is that it 
can be thoroughly vine-ripened and 
still retain its edible qualities without 
icing for a long time. It has been ship¬ 
ped uniced, thoroughly ripened from 
the Imperial Valley in California to 
New York and returned and still was in 
perfect condition. The Imperial Canta¬ 
loupe does well in all sections. It is 
reasonably early and prolific, and of 
excellent quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 2 
oz., 35c; |4 lb., 60c; y z lb., $1.00; lb.,

Scarlet Dawn 
Tomato 
The Grower has this to say of the 
Scarlet Dawn Tomato: “Recognizing 
a need for a tomato of the Marglobe 
type but earlier in season and more 
prolific, we made crosses of a number 
of different varieties. Eventually from 
one of the Clarks Early by Marglobe 
hybrids this desired combination of 
qualities was secured. 
“The solid wall and freedom from 
puffiness, the bright scarlet color and 
globular shape of this variety are all 
characteristics that are required in 
a good shipping tomato. Because of 
its productiveness, color, earliness and 
quality. It will appeal strongly to the 
home gardener as well as to the com¬ 
mercial grower. Pkt., 15c; oz., 75c; 2 
oz., $1.25; i/ 4 lb., $2.25; J/ 2 lb -> $4.00; 
lb., $7.00.
