For Early Crop and Bigger Profits, 
Start Your Plants Under Glass 
The propagation of cantaloupes under glass 
for transplanting is along similar lines as the 
growing of early tomatoes for market. An art 
which has taken more than forty years of ex¬ 
periment and experience to develop to the ac¬ 
curacy of our practice today. 
The results aimed at and usually secured are 
as follows: First, twenty to twenty-five days 
gain in earliness. Second, a full stand in the 
field preventing loss of land and fertilizer 
through an imperfect stand. Third, the pro¬ 
duction of a heavier meated, better netted and 
higher flavored melon than can be secured 
through open field culture. We know these 
results are secured through the transplanted 
plant that has been properly grown under glass. 
See page 12 about our free booklet of in¬ 
structions. 
Hearts of Gold Melons are positively the best and most rapid selling market variety.
