plant out in March, giving them space in accordance with the size of the 
lettuce for summer crop; grow where sown, thinning out to 6 or 8 inches 
apart.

variety, forming big yet compact, tender and crisp heads. Adapted to open

Hardie’s Muskmelon or Cantaloupe 
Hardie’s Cantaloupe or Muskmelon seed is grown at Rocky Ford, Colorado, 
by two of the best growers of that big seed-producing center. We have con¬ 
tracted with these same firms for many years and have never had cause to 
•ven consider a change. We receive many letters from our customers telling 
of the wonderful cantaloupes they have produced from our seed. 
CULTURE—Plant in hills eight or ten feet apart, dropping ten seeds to 
the hill; thin out to three plants to the hill, cultivate until the vines cover the 
ground, and pinch the ends of the early shoots to induce early fruiting. 
225— ACME or BALTIMORE—Excellent for late market, its heavy foliage 
giving the fruit plenty of shade to protect it from our hot mid-summer sun ; 
of good size, oval in form, well ribbed and heavily netted, skin turning to a 
golden tint when ripened. Flesh firm and of superior quality. A great favorite 
with hotels and restaurants. Truckers plant this variety for second crop. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 30c; lb. 90c; postpaid. 
226— EDWARD’S PERFECTO—This is a new cantaloupe that has only been 
introduced a short time. It is 6 by 5 inches in size, with very slight ribs and 
a hard gray netting. The seed cavity is triangular and the flesh a deeply 
tinted salmon color. It is edible in about 96 days and the shipping and 
keeping qualities excellent. It is a new type of Rocky Ford, showing a trace 
of Burrel Gem but far superior to Burrel Gem. We believe Perfecto will 
supersede many of the old shipping varieties. Try some of this seed ; you will 
be pleased. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; *4 lb. 30c; lb. 90c; postpaid.
