MUSKMELON 
Onion-—Early Yellow Globe 
Here is a new early type of Yellow Globe Onion of Connecticut origin which 
matures fully three weeks ahead of Southport and other similar sorts. This is 
a fine globe-shaped Onion with a beautiful yellow color. It is a splendid win¬ 
ter keeper and, because of its thick skin, keeps in storage better than most 
early sorts. The bulbs do not quite reach the size of some of the later sorts but 
it yields nearly as well and is a more sure yielder because it is earlier. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 30c; 14 lb*. 90c; lb., $3.00, prepaid. 
Tomato—-Isbell’s Earlibell 
First on the Market — Brings Highest Prices. 
Of all the splendid Tomatoes we handle, we have received more letters of praise 
for Earlibell from our customers than for all other early sorts combined. Certainly 
no sort is more worthy of high favor. As an early sort of good size and quality, it has 
no equal. The large smooth fruits are uniform in size and produced in large clusters 
often containing a dozen or 
more, all of a deep glossy scarlet 
and colored evenly up to the stem. 
In shape they are nearly round or 
slightly flattened. They are very thick meated with few seeds 
is truly delightful. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; ^4 lb., $1

Tomato—Isbell’s New Phenomenal 
Here is a new and distinct variety that was developed 
by a veteran Tomato grower, of New York State. Phenom¬ 
enal is a medium early variety that continues to bear 
throughout the season. The vines are strong and vigorous 
like Marglobe. The fruits are nearly round or slightly 
flattened, of large size, always smooth, ripen evenly and 
are a bright deep scarlet all the way through. They sel¬ 
dom crack and are extremely solid with few seeds. The 
flavor is most pleasing, being very rich but not sharply 
acid. Phenomenal ripens slightly earlier than Marglobe, 
bears until frost and is an extra heavy yielding sort. It 
is resistant to both blight and rust. Pkt., 15c; y 2 oz., 35c; 
oz., 60c, % lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
New Tomato—Oxheart 
This new Tomato is aptly named because the fruits are 
shaped like a beef heart. The color is a deep pink or crim¬ 
son of the same shade as Ponderosa. The plant is a vigor¬ 
ous grower and very prolific. The fruits ripen in good 
season and the plants continue to bear until frost. The un¬ 
usually mild sweet flavor and the thick, meaty flesh have 
made this a great favorite home garden variety. The large 
solid slices are very attractive on the table. Oxheart always creates 
a lot of interest because of its unusual size and distinctive shape.

Muskmelon—Honey Rock 
Hale’s Best 
A Popular New Early Variety. 
This new Melon has become very popular in the few years since its 
introduction and is now grown extensively in all the Melon growing 
districts. It has many fine qualities to recommend it, both for home use 
and as a market variety. Hale’s Best is a medium early sort and the 
earliest of the Rocky Ford type. The Melons are oval 
in shape and just the right size, averaging about 5 
inches in diameter and 7 to 8 inches long. They are 
well covered with fine netting and are attractive in 
appearance. The flesh is a rich deep salmon color 
with a pleasing sweetness and aroma. Hale’s Best 
is a prolific bearer and one of the heaviest yielding 
sorts. The fruits are so solid that they stand truck¬ 
ing and shipping to distant markets extremely well.

Also Called Sugar Rock. See Color Plate 
Inside Front Cover. 
Few Melons have ever become so immensely popu¬ 
lar in such a short time as Honey Rock. Wide awake Melon 
growers have been quick to sense the demand for Honey 
Rocks and have cashed in with them. This Melon is espe¬ 
cially noted for the rich, melting sweetness of the highly 
colored golden flesh. In shape the Melons are nearly round, 
averaging six inches in diameter. They are covered with a 
heavy coarse netting which is a great protection in handling. The plants are heavy bearers, commonly 
setting seven or more fruits. The Melons are remarkably uniform in size, shape and flavor, and are 
very attractive. Honey Rock is a medium early variety and the vines are hardy and vigorous. It is 
a good shipping sort and the size is just right. It has withstood the drought of past seasons extremely 
well and has been a real money maker. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; y 4 lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, postpaid.
