MUSKMELONS 
SKAGIT GOLDEN. This is the earliest musk- 
melon that we have ever seen and while musk 
melons are not always satisfactory in Western 
Washington we believe that Skagit Golden will 
give good results here even in spite of the short 
growing season. If you have a warm early soil 
you will be delighted with this fine melon. The 
flesh is medium thick, sweet and juicy and of a 
rich salmon orange color. Pkg., 10c; oz., 25c. 
EMERALD GEM. One of the earliest of all 
muskmelons and therefore more nearly adaptable 
to the short growing seasons of this locality. 
The skin is smooth and of deep emerald green 
color. The flesh is thick and of a delicate salmon 
color. Pkg., 5c; oz., 15c. 
MUSTARD 
One ounce will sow 75 feet of drill. 
CULTURE —Sow frequently through the spring 
in drills from 8 to 12 inches apart. 
GIANT SOUTHERN CURLED. This variety 
grows about three feet tall. The broad leaves 
are cut and frilled. They are boiled and used 
as greens. Sometimes when the plants are about 
two inches tall they are cut, washed and used 
as a sandwich spread. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; /$. lb., 
25c. 
PARSLEY 
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED. The most beau¬ 
tiful kind of garnishing or flavoring. Can be cut 
fresh from the garden all winter. Pkg., 5c; oz., 
10c; Z 4 lb., 30c. 
HAMBURG or TURNIP ROOTED. The root 
of this variety is the edible portion and resembles 
a small turnip. It is extensively used for flavor 
ing soup, stews, etc. Pkg., 10c; oz., 20c; '/4 lb.,

OKRA or GUMBO 
EARLY DWARF GREEN. An early sort 
which remains in condition for use a long time. 
Pods long, fluted and dark green. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c. 
WATERMELONS 
SKAGIT GEM. A brand new watermelon 
just introduced into this country from Asia 
that is reported to be about 20 days earlier 
than any other melon now used. Medium small, 
oval, flesh pink and of excellent flavor. The 
seed is very scarce and we are able to offer 
it in packets for trial only. Pkt., each, 15c. 
COLE’S EARLY. The best early variety for 
the Northwest. Fruits medium-sized, and green 
striped. Flesh pink-red and of good flavor. Pkg., 
5c; oz., 15c. 
CITRON. A type of watermelon used foi 
preserving. While a little late for the Puget 
Sound area it will mature some fruits with 
special care on warm soil. Pkg., 5c; OZ., 15c. 
PEPPERS 
HARRIS’ EARLY 
GIANT. This is the 
largest and best of 
the early sorts. It is 
the best adapted for 
use in the Northwest 
that we know about. 
Seven to ten fine 
large fruits are us- 
usally produced o n 
each plant. Best for 
home use. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 60c. 
LARGE BELL OR BULL NOSE. This is the 
earliest pepper of the “bell” type. The fruits 
are larger and a little later than the Harris’ 
Early. The fruits are also more pungent and 
produced in great abundance. Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c. 
PIMENTO. This is a very mild, sweet var¬ 
iety of pepper that is in great demand for salad 
making. It is easily canned for home use. The 
seed should be planted in a hotbed and the 
plants set out after the ground is warm. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c. 
ORACH 
This vegetable is sometimes known as Scotch 
or German Greens. The plant will grow about 
five feet tall on moist soil. The leaves are large 
and thick and produced abundantly over a long¬ 
er period than ordinary spinach. The rows should 
be at least eighteen inches apart and the plants 
thinned out to about 6 inches for best results. 
While the flavor is not exactly identical to 
spinach, many who have used Orach like it 
the better of the two. At least two plantings 
should be made a season. Orach will thrive on 
moist soil that is too acid or too poor for com¬ 
mon spinach. It is worth trying in every garden, 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c.
