MUSTARD—Continued 
White or Yellow—30 Days. Seeds white and 
larger than the Brown, similar in habit to Brown, 
shoots to seed early. This blended with Brown is 
what is used to make Commerical Mustard, used 
on the table. Pkt. 6c oz. 10c i- lb. 20c lb. 60c 
MUSTARD SPINACH OR TENDERGREEN 28 
Days. Something new in greens of Oriental origin. 
This vegetable, as its name implies, is a mild Must¬ 
ard with a distinct Spinach flavor. It is a very rapid 
gi'ower. Slow to shoot to seed. The first cutting of 
plants four or five inches long can be made in three 
or four weeks. It should first be planted in the 
Spring when greens are most in demand. It with¬ 
stands heat wonderfully. Plantings made in July 
make an excellent crop.

Ostrich Plume Mustard 
MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE 
Cantaloupe is believed to have first come from Africa and was cultivated in the Roman Empire. 
Three Ozs. of Seed Will Plant 100 Yds. of Row. Plant Three Lbs. to the Acre. Break ground in 
6 days. One inch high in 9 days under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. Cantaloupes, 
or Citrons, as they are termed in New Jersey, do well upon sod ground or upon land prepared for planting 
by plowing down a crop of Winter Wheat, or Winter Rye, the sod or straw aerating or keeping loose the 
soil; thrives best on sandy soil. No plant is more influenced by the conditions of its growth. 
The seed should be planted after corn seeding time or shortly after the apple is in bloom, the hills about 
4^ feet in every direction. Two shovelfuls of well-rotted stable manure trampled into each hill and covered 
with earth will greatly aid growth. Cantaloupe vines are often destroyed by lice if not properly sprayed. 
For a partial protection spray the leaves frequently with Bordeaux Mixture. Cantaloupe vines fre¬ 
quently are blighted by early morning fogs, the leaves appearing afterwards as if a flame of fire had passed 
over the fields. 
GREEN FLESHED VARIETIES 
Extra Early Hackensack—88 Days. This Melon 
is 6 days earlier than the large old-fashioned Hack¬ 
ensack, deeply ribbed, coarse netted, flesh thick, of 
excellent flavor, flesh and skin green, slightly tinged 
with yellow. Nearly round, somewhat flattened in 
shape. One of the most popular of the old standbys. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 16c I lb. 36c lb. $1.10 
Honey Dew—Green Flesh—110 Days. This is a 
melon known in France as Antipes. Fruits round to 
oval with smooth, very nearly white skin. Flesh 
thick, light emerald green when first picked but 
creamy yellow after stored several days. It is best 
five or ten days after picking, when the flesh becomes 
creamy yellow. If picked when slightly green and 
put in a cool place it will keep from five to six weeks. 
This is the very popular melon served in the late 
autumn after all other Cantaloupes are over. Best 
grown in Colorado and California where it thrives 
in a long season which is required to mature good 
fruits. Pkt. 6c oz. 16c z lb. 40c lb. $1.26 
Jenny Lind Small—86 Days. A small early green 
fleshed variety of unsurpassed flavor, much flattened 
at the poles. We believe this is still the best 
flavored of all Melons. Very little netting, shallow 
ribs, a large size button at the blossom end. 
Recommended for family gardening rather than for 
the market, as its small size is against it. This is 
one of the few varieties which has retained its 
reputation for years and is very hard to equal as to 
quality. Size 4 x 3 inches. Weight 1 pound. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 16c i lb. 36c lb. $1.10 
Knight’s Early, Sweet Air orMaryland—86 Days. 
Green fleshed, of excellent flavor, by many con¬ 
sidered superior to the Rocky Ford. Same general 
shape, but small, sometimes a perfect globe, com¬ 
pletely netted, but not so well netted as Rocky 
Ford, light ribs, a good shipper, very popular with 
the large grower when it was called Jr. Rocky Ford. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 16c J lb. 36c lb. $1.16 
Large Hackensack or Turk’s Cap—94 Days. 
Large fruit, flattened at the poles, flesh green, a 
great favorite with the family gardeners. Its large 
size, however, is against it with Market Gardeners. 
It is the best flavored of the very large green Melons, 
very deeply ribbed and densely covered with a coarse 
netting. Weight about 8 pounds. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 16c j lb. 36c lb. $1.10 
Rocky Ford—Fine Selected—96 Days. Flesh 
light green with gold tinge in center. Fruit nearly 
round, small cavity. Netted with gray all over and 
free from ribs. This is the greatest favorite in the 
market today, is more extensively grown than all 
the other Melons in existence. It varies in type and 
thickness of skin, according to selection. Is a 
medium early sort with practically no ribs and in¬ 
tense netting. Pkt. 6c oz. 16c i lb. 36c lb. $1.10 
Rocky Ford—Landreths’ Double Extra Select— 
96 Days. This seed is saved from hand-selected 
fruit and is superior to the ordinary field-picked 
strain of Rocky Ford. Flesh light green and of a 
delicate spicy flavor. Melons nearly round, very 
small cavity, uniform in size and shape, netted all 
over with a fine gray tracery, no ribs discernible. 
Our strain of Rocky Ford seed cannot be excelled by 
any strain in the market, no matter what price is 
asked. The Landreths’ Double Extra Select Rocky 
Ford is known throughout all the Melon districts.
