Lettuce— (Continued) 
NEW YORK SPECIAL No. B15—A very large, globu¬ 
lar heading variety; leaves broad, of thick texture, 
fairly crumpled and the borders frilled, color clear 
dark green, quality good. 
NEW YORK No. 515—Is a Pieters-Wheeler introduc¬ 
tion and was bred as a summer variety to resist 
Tip-burn. It is a cross between Iceberg and New 
York but has the general appearance of New York 
No. 12. However, it has a better fold, is more 
sure heading and more resistant to Tip-burn. It 
is an improvement on New York No. 12. 
IMPERIAL F—Resistant to both brown blight and 
mildew, this is the most extensively used of all the 
double resistant strains of New York type. Heads 
large, solid, and attractive; of excellent quality. 
IMPERIAL No. 153 —It is of the New York type, be¬ 
ing about the same size as the old regular New 
York. It is the most sure heading of all varieties 
of New York on the market today in that it has 
the habit of growing close to the ground and fold¬ 
ing over while the plant is still in the young 
stages. Its only drawback is that it contains 
Imperial No. 6 blood. It is the most susceptible 
of all varieties to Tip-burn. 
CHICKEN LETTUCE —A hardy, tall growing, dark green 
variety, producing the largest amount of leaves of any 
lettu ce; grown entirely for poultry and rabbit feed. 
PARIS WHITE COS OR ROMAINE —-Widely used for green¬ 
house planting, as well as by home gardeners and 
truckers. A medium large self-folding sort, with medium 
dark green, erect smooth, concave leaves. Head com¬ 
pact, solid loaf shaped, with greenish white, well blanched 
interior; crisp, sweet, tender, and of excellent flavor.

Watermelons 
(Melone d'aqua, Sandia, Wasser Melone) 
CULTURE—The same as for Muskmelons, except that 
they should be planted from 8 to 10 feet apart. One 
ounce for 30 hills and 3 to 4 pounds to the acre. 
COLE’S EARLY —One of the earliest and best of the 
early sorts; hardy medium size, nearly round; rind 
dark green, striped a lighter shade; flesh deep pink 
and excellent in quality; seeds black. 
PHINNEY’S EARLY —Ripens with Peerless; medium 
in size and oblong in form; color very distinct, the 
rind being mottled with various shades of green 
so as to present an almost scaly appearance; 
quality good; seeds light brown. 
FORDHOOK EARLY —An extra early variety of fine 
quality and fair size; form round to oblong; skin 
dark green mottled with a darker shade; flesh 
bright red; seeds white. 
HALBERT HONEY —A very sweet, long, dark green 
variety. Fruits average 18 to 20 inches long, have 
a thin rind and deep red meat of delicious flavor; 
pulp entirely free from stringiness; seeds white. 
One of the finest for the home garden. 
HUNGARIAN HONEY —A superb early variety; uni¬ 
formly globe-shaped; color dark green, mottled and 
veined with a darker shade; flesh brilliant red, 
ripening clear to the rind and of the highest 
quality; seeds brown and very small. 
ROCKY FORD —Fruit is of large size, oblong in 
shape, averaging 18 to 20 inches in length and 10 
to 12 inches in diameter. The appearance is hand¬ 
some, the flesh is a bright scarlet, with flavor 
which is superbly delicious. Unfortunately the 
~ skin is too tender to admit of shipping to any great 
distance. Very similar to Kleckley’s. 
PEERLESS OR ICE CREAM —Very early, of medium 
size and one of the best for growing in the North; 
short oblong in form; rind thin, light green, mot¬ 
tled and finely veined with a darker shade; flesh 
bright scarlet and very sweet; seeds white. 
TOM WATSON —Probably the best shipping melon and 
one of the best main crop sorts; grows to a very large 
size. Fruit large and long in shape, colored a medium 
green with a light tracing of a darker shade, flesh rich 
red and of good quality; seeds brown. 
KLONDIKE —A popular melon on the Pacific coast, having 
a dark green, thin, tough rind and attractive bright red 
flesh; seeds small, black. A good shipping sort.

Kleckley’s Sweet 
KLECKLEY’S SWEET OR MONTE CRISTO—Medium 
to large in size, medium early and exceedingly 
sweet; oblong in form, slightly tapering towards 
the stem end; rind very dark green; flesh very 
bright, rich red and ripens nearly to the rind; too 
tender for a shipping melon; seeds white to light 
brown. 
WONDERMELON (Imp. Kleckley’s Sweets)—A large 
oblong melon with a thin dark rind and showing 
faint tracings or indentations running the length 
of the melon. Resembles Kleckley’s but with no 
tendency toward pear-shape. Also known as White 
Seeded Kleckley. 
ANGELINO—The quality of this melon is equalled 
by few varieties. It is desirable for shipping. The 
fruits are medium sized, nearly round or slightly 
oblong. The skin is very deep green, indistinctly 
mottled and striped with a lighter shade. The 
flesh is decidedly bright vermilion-red, remark¬ 
ably fine grained but firm and very sweet. Seed 
black. 
SUGAR STICK—One of the best of the long melons. 
It has a light green colored rind, black seed and 
with an average weight of 25 pounds. The rind 
is tough while the flesh is most delicious. 
IRISH GRAY—A large, long, main crop variety with 
a distinctive, gray-green skin; shell very tough 
and hard, making a fine shipper; flesh very firm, 
crisp and sweet, seeds brown. 
EXCEL—Largest of the shipping melons; midseason; 
fruit long, dark green in color with an irregular 
faint striping and covered with a fine veining of 
a darker shade; flesh red and crisp; rind hard and 
tough; seeds gray-brown, but variable as to color.
