BURRELL GEM 
Seed Grown by Burrell at 
Rocky Ford 
This new melon is the “ne 
plus ultra” of yellow flesh musk 
melons. It is another Colorado 
product, and, like the Rocky 
Ford cantaloupe, one that we 
can be proud of. It has a tough 
thin rind, well arched ribs, cov¬ 
ered with a closely laced and 
interlaced gray netting. Shape 
is quite elongated, the diameter 
from stem to blossom end being 
one-third more than from top 
to bottom. Meat reddish orange 
very thick, fine grained and 
spicy; vines vigorous; average 
weight 2% lbs., and notwith¬ 
standing its thin rind, is an ideal shipping melon. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; ^4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.50, in sealed 
packages. 
HOODOO OR HEARTS OF GOLD 
A splendid type of the salmon fleshed cantaloupe. 
It is early and prolific. Similar in shape to the 
Rocky Ford but slightly flattened from stem to blos¬ 
som end. The ribs are completely covered with a 
heavy, close netting, with a very narrow stripe be¬ 
tween. Flesh salmon colored, thick, fine grained and 
of delicious flavor. It is an ideal shipping melon and 
sure to become a favorite with all who prefer a sal¬ 
mon fleshed melon. Don't fail to give it a trial. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 
WATERMELON 
CULTURE—This is the same as for musk mel¬ 
ons, except that they should be planted from 8 to 10 
feet apart. One ounce for 30 hills ; 3 or 4 pounds to 
an acre. 
PHINEY’S EARLY 
A very early variety, medium and uniform size.

COLE’S EARLY 
This is an extra early melon, maturing fully a 
week or more in advance of any other variety. 
Melons are oval in form, handsomely striped with 
light and dark green, small but of good quality and 
desirable for raising where seasons are short. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 30c; lb. $1.00. 
GYPSY OR RATTLESNAKE 
One of the largest of all the varieties of water¬ 
melons, long, smooth, distinctly striped, with mot¬ 
tled and wavy dark green, regular stripes. Flesh 
bright scarlet and very sugary. Thin skinned, but 
bears carriage well. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
STONE MOUNTAIN

in shape, dark green in color and very sweet and 
juicy. Flesh highly colored. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 
35c; lb. $1.25. 
KOLB’S GEM 
Vines of medium size, but remarkably vigorous 
and healthy. Fruit of the largest size, round or 
slightly oval, marked with irregular mottled stripes 
of dark and very light green. Flesh bright red, ex¬ 
tending to within half an inch of the rind; always 
solid, very firm, a little coarse, but sweet and ten¬ 
der. An excellent keeper and very good for ship¬ 
ping. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00. 
HALBERT HONEY WATERMELON 
This melon is the same color and shape as our 
Improved Kleckly Sweet, but is more tender. The 
melons split ahead of the knife when cut. The 
seeds, instead of being white, are of a rather dull 
white with slightly brown tips. It is of excellent 
quality and will be ordered extensively by those who 
know it best, which is the best recommendation a 
melon can have. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00.
