Prefer rich, sandy soil and plenty of sunshine. When the ground has f?! 
become thoroughly warm, spade in well-rotted manure about Yz foqt mew 
deep, at the rate of a shovelful for each hill. Drop 8 to 10 seeds in 
slightly raised hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. covering with Yz to 1 Sggg 
inch of fine soil. When plants have produced their rough leaves, thin 
to the 3 or 4 strongest in each hill. Practice frequent shallow cultiva- 
tion until vines cover ground. Commercial growers start the seed in 
hotbeds, in paper pots, or dirt-bands (write for prices), and later trans- ®SS8 
plant to the field. Earlier plantings can be accomplished by the use 
of Hotkaps (see page 71), For fungous diseases in general, spray fre- 
quently with Bordeaux Mixture or Pyrox (see page 71); for “damping 
off.” dust with flowers of sulphur when the vines are young, and mam- 
tain good drainage and clean cultivation.

fleshed melon approaching 
perfection in size. Its flesh, 
being neither coarse nor 
stringy, is hard to beat as a 
table delicacy. The big al¬ 
most round and unusually 
heavily netted melons aver¬

flavored and most tasty of all. It is round, remark¬ 
ably uniform in size, with very heavy netting. Flesh 
is firm, very thick, and tinted yellow at center.

rust- and insect-resistant, and enormously prolific.

for the shipper and market gardener, and 
most satisfactory for the home-garden.

Honey Rock 
106 95 days. The flesh is deep, 
thick, of orange color, with 
a sugary and luscious flavor 
all its own. Rind is so tough, 
and the flesh so firm that it 
can be allowed to ripen on 
the vine and then shipped 
long distances and yet ar¬ 
rive in perfect condition. The 
fruits are nearly round, me¬ 
dium in size, with a hea.vj’, 
coarse netting over a slate- 
colored skin. The strong 
vigorous vines do not show 
any trace of blight. It is one 
of the most prolific varieties 
grown. Pkt. 8c; oz. 13c; 14 
lb. 35c; lb. $1.00; 5 lbs. 
$4.50. Not prepaid: 10 lbs.

'$60.00. 
GANTWOURI 
4 
I 13 95 days. We predict this new variety will achieve 
great popularity. The medium-sized (6 by 5 inches), 
oval shaped fruits are finely netted, which in itself 
gives them a handsome appearance, but when they are 
halved and disclose their beautiful salmon-colored 
flesh, their appeal is irresistible. The flesh is thick, of 
a fine custard-like texture, and the triangular seed- 
cavity is the smallest found in melons of this type. 
Just about perfection for a true Cantaloupe. It Is 
sure to supersede most of the older shipping varieties, 
now that we have this type selected to the typically 
Cantaloupe requirements. Pkt. 8c; oz. I 3c; 14 lb. 35c; 
lb. $1.00; 5 lbs. $4.50. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $7.50; 25 
lbs. $17.50; 100 lbs. $60.00.
