Melons for Local and The Honey Rock we offer is an improved 
stock having a heavier netting, thicker 
Koaaside Marker flesh; it is especially favored in Michigan, 
Wisconsin and Indiana. Those wishing 
larger melons prefer Osage, Jumbo Burrell 
Gem, Original or Jumbo H. B., Anne Arundel and melons of the Tip Top 
class which include Tip Top, Bender’s Surprise and Milwaukee Market. 
Our Milwaukee Market is an exceptionally thick fleshed strain of this 
valuable variety. Do not forget the Golden Glow Honey Dew. This 
will add color to your roadside market display. It is a very fine melon, 
and being earlier than the regular Honey Dew, can be grown farther 
north. Cantaloupe and Muskmelon are special items with us and we 
firmly believe that better seed than we have of these, is not obtainable. 
Send us your orders and we will do our best to please you.

This Is the Improved H. B. No. 30; Better Than Ever Before. 
ImnrrworJ l-l R Mo 85 da y s - If we were to engage in canta- 
impi uvcu i i. u. I'tu. loupe growing for market, our choice of 
all varieties now available would be H. B. No. 36 for early, with Bur¬ 
rell’s Superfecto to follow for later shipping. H. B. No. 36 is a beauti¬ 
ful melon; highly flavored, really good to eat and has proven its worth 
by becoming the most popular cantaloupe with large shippers the past 
several seasons. So wonderfully uniform that it is an outstanding 
breeding accomplishment. In size it is large, packing mostly 36’s or 
using the Jumbo flat crate 12’s. Melon is solidly netted, little if any 
suture and no ribs. The rich, spicy salmon flesh is deep, fine grained 
and holds up well for long distance shipping. While primarily bred 
for the shipping trade, its many fine qualities make it ideal for roadside 
market and home gardens. Wherever cantaloupes are grown, we 
recommend this melon to melon growers; for north—where the sea¬ 
sons are short—for south to be first on the market with a real good 
cantaloupe. The only exception to this would be in districts where 
powdery mildew is prevalent, in which case we would recommend the 
New Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45.
