Muskmelon 
One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds an acre 
Delicious. An early Bender’s Surprise. 
The deep orange-yellow flesh is firm and 
unusually sweet. The melons, averaging 
5 pounds, are oval, slightly ribbed, light 
green covered with fine netting. They 
mature two weeks before Bender’s Sur¬ 
prise, and just after Lake Champlain. 
Not a distant shipping melon but the 
largest real early fine variety. 
Hearts of Gold XXX. This de luxe strain 
is the result of a special selection for 
earliness, larger size, and better shipping 
qualities. Melon growers quickly recog¬ 
nized the worth of our Hearts of Gold 
XXX as compared with other strains. 
Each year our supply has been sold out early. The heavily netted oval melons, 
b z /i inches across, have a tough rind as thin as an orange peel. The very thick, 
golden yellow, sweet flesh leaves a seed-cavity of only 1% inch diameter. Resists 
wet weather and drought, and ships exceptionally well. 
Honey Rock (Sugar Rock). The deep orange flesh is the most luscious and sweetest 
we know. Melons are oval-round, without ribs, about 5 by 6 inches, covered with 
heavy, coarse netting. They are light gray-green, turning to light golden when 
ripe. The hard shell stands distant shipping very well. The melons ripen early 
and the vines are very extremely productive. 
Jersey Gold. Remarkable new variety—the kind the buyers literally come hunting 
for. The very sweet, clear salmon flesh is unusually deep and can be eaten right 
down to the 3^-inch rind. Moderately netted, heavily corded, pale green, oval 
Melons, 7 by 6 inches, that weigh 4 to 5H> pounds. 
Honey Rock Muskmelon 
Bender’s Surprise. Large, oval, coarsely but 
scantily netted, 10 to 12-pound, gray- 
green Melons with very thick, deep orange, 
sweet flesh. Fine for local sale. 
Hale’s Best. Very early, oval, 8 by 43/2-inch 
heavily netted shipping Melon of fine 
flavor. Thick salmon flesh with small seed- 
cavity. Best for trucking a long distance. 
Mangel 
One ounce sows 50 feet; 7 pounds an acre 
Mammoth Long Red. The light red root, 
18 inches long, 6 inches across, with a 
heavy shoulder, grows half above ground, 
and pulls easily. The flesh is white, tinged 
rose. Gives a very heavy tonnage.
