two vines to the hill. Plant 1 to VJz lbs. of seed to the acre. 
Florida Favorite

pearance it is similar to the Rattlesnake, the rind being con¬ 
siderably darker. Average weight 30 lbs. Edible in 87 days.

A Si, 1VA If is without doubt the most popular 
rvionaitve melon in the State of California. We 
introduced the Klondike in 1909 and naturally we are very proud 
of its present reputation. The Imperial Valley alone grows sev¬ 
eral thousand acres of them for shipment to outside territory 
and they are always the first melon to arrive on the Los An¬ 
geles market. The meat is a rich, bright red and very appe¬ 
tizing. Vendors along the boulevards always cut a Klondike 
when they wish to attract customers. The rind is thick enough 
to protect the melon in shipping and yet it is not a thick, heavy 
rind like many varieties. If you are planting for market or for 
home consumption you will not go wrong by planting the Klon¬ 
dike. Average weight 25 lbs. Edible in 87 days. The genuine 
A & M strain is put up in sealed bags for your protection. We 
have both brown seed and black seed strains. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c)

Winter Melon (King and Queen) ™* n f coid°is 
sweet, crisp and surprisingly delicious and when you have fin¬ 
ished you realize that you have eaten a melon as entirely dis¬ 
tinct from a water melon, as the Casaba is apart from the 
Cantaloupe and just as delicious. Like the Casaba it should 
not be eaten right off the vine, but be allowed to lie around 
until the first signs of decay. It decays slowly like an apple, 
not like other watermelons. Average weight 10 lbs. Edible 
in 85 days. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) (14 lb. 50c) (lb. $1.50) postpaid.
