PLANT LANDRETHS’ CERTIFIED CROWN PICKED TOMATO 
75 
MUSTARD—Continued 
OSTRICH PLUME—40 Days 
This sort was grown, named and introduced ove 7, fifty 
years ago by the Landreths and is recommended as 
the best Mustard in cultivation today, for it is more 
delicate, curly and ornamental than the Giant 
Southern Curled, and shoots to seed much more 
slowly than any other sort. It is sometimes called 
Fordhook Fancy. Dark green, long plume-like 
leaves are very distinct and borne in profusion. It 
is a very shy seeder, therefore the seed is more ex¬ 
pensive than other sorts. 
White or Yellow—30 Days 
Seeds white and larger than the Brown, similar in 
habit to Brown, shoots to seed early. This blended 
with Brown is what is used to make Commercial 
Mustard, used on the table. 
Mustard Spinach or Tendergreen—28 Days 
Something new in greens of Oriental origin. This 
vegetable, as its name implies, is a mild Mustard 
with a distinct Spinach flavor. It is a very rapid 
grower. Slow to shoot to seed. The first cutting of 
plants four or five inches long can be made in three 
or four weeks. It should first be planted in the 
Spring when greens are most in demand. It with¬ 
stands heat wonderfully. Plantings made in July 
make an excellent crop.

Cantaloupes, or Citrons, as they are termed in New Jersey, do well upon sod ground or upon land pre¬ 
pared for planting by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat, or Winter Rye, the sod or straw aerating or 
keeping loose the soil; thrives best on sandy soil. No plant is more influenced by the conditions of its growth. 
The seed should be planted after corn seeding time or shortly after the apple is in bloom, the hills 
about A.\ feet in every direction. Two shovelfuls of well-rotted stable manure trampled into each hill 
and covered with earth will greatly aid growth. Cantaloupe vines are often destroyed by lice. 
For a partial protection spray the leaves frequently with Bordeaux Mixture. Cantaloupe vines fre¬ 
quently are blighted by early morning fogs, the leaves appearing afterwards as if a flame of fire had passed 
over the fields. 
GREEN FLESHED VARIETIES 
Extra Early Hackensack—88 Days 
This Melon is 6 days earlier than the large old- 
fashioned Hackensack, deeply ribbed, coarse netted, 
flesh thick, of excellent flavor, flesh and skin green, 
slightly tinged with yellow. Nearly round, some¬ 
what flattened in shape. One of the most popular 
of the old standbys. 
Honey Dew—Green Flesh—110 Days 
This is a melon known in France as Antipes. Fruits 
round to oval with smooth, very nearly white skin. 
Flesh thick, light emerald green when first picked 
but creamy yellow after stored several days. It is 
best five or ten days after picking, when the flesh 
becomes creamy yellow. If picked when slightly 
green and put in a cool place it will keep from five 
to six weeks. This is the very popular melon served 
in the late autumn after all other Cantaloupes are 
over. Best grown in Colorado and California where 
it thrives in a long season which is required to mature 
good fruits.
