Striped Klondike. Friends, here’s a new one. We tried it out 
this past summer and found it delicious. We’re passing it on 
to you. Try it! An excellent shipper and of wonderful quality. 
Light green, conspicuously striped with dark. In quality it 
has no superior and its striking appearance advertises it well 
wherever offered for sale. It brings excellent prices. Size and 
shape same as brown seeded Klondike. Striped Klondike 
matures about the same time as our Brown Seeded Klondike. 
The flavor will strike you as “par-excellence.” We feel we 
are offering you the last word in watermelons in this new 
variety. If you miss out on its good qualities, don’t blame 
us. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Yk lb. 65c; lb. $2.00. 
Monarch Brown Seeded Klondike. (Early maturing strain.) 
Flesh deep red, very sweet, flavor of the best, rind thin, dark 
green and tough enough to allow shipping to nearby markets. 
Stem end square, center full, tapering slightly to the blossom 
end. A favorite on the Pacific Coast. One of the best flavored 
melons we have ever offered. Usually weighs about 25 pounds.

Kleckley Sweet or Monte Cristo. Early. A most popular home 
garden variety. Fruits large, oblong, very dark green; flesh

flavor to either of the Klondike varieties. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 
Yk lb. 40c; lb. $1.00.

locality. Our plants will make early

Early Sweet Spanish (Riverside Strain). This strain of Sweet 
Spanish has been bred up to keeping quality perfection.

of you know it for its extreme high characteristics. Early, 
mild, excellent keeper, heavy yielder. Increasingly popular

and you’ll find ours, True-to-type stock. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
% lb. 75c; lb. $2.50. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. One of the most extensively used 
main crop yellow onions for the home garden. Here’s what 
our grower says about our seed: “Our selection and breed¬ 
ing have developed a strain which has the early ripening 
habit and small neck of the original Danvers and yet is 
more globular and prolific than the parent type. The bulbs 
are medium to large sized, uniformly globe shaped and white 
fleshed, with a crispness and an excellent mild flavor. Highly 
recommended.” Could you ask for more in an onion? Pkt.
