Landreths’ Double Extra Select Rocky Ford 
CANTALOUPES—Continued 
Jenny Lind Small—86 Days 
A small early green fleshed variety of unsurpassed 
flavor, much flattened at the poles. We believe this 
is still the best flavored of all Melons. Very little 
netting, shallow ribs, a large size button at the 
blossoms ends. Recommended for family gardening 
rather than for the market, as its small size is 
against it. This is one of the few varieties which 
has retained its reputation for years and is very hard 
to equal as to quality. Size 4x3 inches. Weight 
1 pound. 
Knight’s Early, Sweet Air or Maryland—86 Days 
Green fleshed, of excellent flavor, by many con¬ 
sidered superior to the Rocky Ford. Same general 
shape, but small, sometimes a perfect globe, com¬ 
pletely netted, but not so well netted as Rocky 
Ford, light ribs, a good shipper, very popular with 
the large grower when it was called Jr. Rocky Ford. 
Large Hackensack or Turk’s Cap—94 Days 
Large fruit, flattened at the poles, flesh green, a 
great favorite with the family gardeners. Its 
large size, however, is against it with Market 
Gardeners. It is the best flavored of the very large 
green Melons, very deeply ribbed and densely 
covered with a coarse netting. Weight about 8 
pounds. 
Rocky Ford—Fine Selected—96 Days 
Flesh light green with gold tinge in center. Fruit 
nearly round, small cavity. Netted with gray all 
over and free from ribs. This is the greatest favorite 
in the market today, is more extensively grown than 
all the other Melons in existence. It varies in type 
and thickness of skin, according to selection. Is a 
medium early sort with practically no ribs and in¬ 
tense netting. 
Rocky Ford—Landreths’ Double Extra Select— 
96 Days 
This seed is saved from hand-selected fruit and is 
superior to the ordinary field-picked strain of Rocky 
Ford. Flesh light green and of a delicate spicy 
flavor. Melons nearly round, very small cavity, 
uniform in size and shape, netted all over with a 
fine gray tracery, no ribs discernible. Our strain of 
Rocky Ford seed cannot be excelled by any strain 
in the market, no matter what price is asked. The 
Landreths’ Double Extra Select Rocky Ford is 
known throughout all the Melon districts. 
YELLOW FLESHED CANTALOUPES 
Banana—92 Days 
A melon growing 18 inches long, 4 to 5 inches thick, 
weighing about 7 pounds, and distinctly tapering 
at each end. Lemon colored skin, pink flesh, of 
very fine texture and delicate flavor. To all who 
enjoy something out of the ordinary we strongly 
recommend the trying of this variety as a novelty. 
Defender, Burrells Gem or Ordway Pink—86 
Days 
A celebrated orange fleshed Melon, one of the best 
of the Rocky Ford types. Fruit medium size, 
oval, showing a slight rib and covered with a grayish 
netting, the flesh is a deep orange yellow. Small 
cavity.
