We believe that anyone with reasonably rich soil 
can successfully grow Honey Cream Melons. We 
grew an enormous crop this past year on “new 
ground”.

No melon can quite equal our strain of Bender 
MANGEL BEETS 
6 lbs. will sow 1 acre 
GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE : One of the best recom¬ 
mendations that we can give this variety is that we 
sell twice as much seed as we do of the other three 
varieties put together. Desirable for stock and 
poultry feeding, affording not only a very large crop 
but also having higher nutritive value, being es¬ 
pecially rich in sugar. The roots are rose colored 
above ground, white below, with white flesh. On 
account of growing partly out of the ground and the 
long ovoid shape the crop can be harvested easily 
and at less expense than any other root crop. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 8 cts.; lb. 15 cts.;lb. 45 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$4.00. 
DANISH YELLOW GIANT : The roots grow to a very 
large size, of deep yellow color, not as long as Long 
Red, but larger around, and are smooth and hand¬ 
some, having small tops and very few side roots. 
They grow over two-thirds above the ground, so can 
be harvested with little trouble. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 
8 cts.; lb. 15 cts.; lb. 45 cts.; 10 lbs. $4.00. 
GOLDEN TANKARD: The tops are comparatively 
small, with the leaf stalks and veins distinctly tinged 
with yellow. The neck is small. The roots are 
large, ovoid, but with bottom usually of larger diam¬ 
eter than top, light gray above ground, deep orange 
below. The flesh is yellow zoned with white. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 8 cts.;Xlk. 15 cts.; lb. 45 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$4.00. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED: The roots are very large, 
light red, uniformly straight and well formed. The 
flesh is white tinged with rose. This strain under 
careful culture is enormouslv productive. Pkt. 5 
cts.; oz. 8 cts.; X lb. 15 cts.; lb. 45 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$4.00.

^BENDER, Eastern grown. 95 days. We feel 
that this is the most satisfactory melon that we 
grow. Due to a difference of opinion as to what the 
ideal Bender should be, there are a great many differ¬ 
ent types now on the market. Some have bred for 
size and have sacrificed quality. Our ideal has been 
a melon averaging 7 to 8 lbs. heavily netted, thick 
sweet orange yellow meat, firm but free from stringi¬ 
ness. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; % lb. 70 cts.; lb. 
$2.25. 
BENDER, Western grown seed. 95 days. Our 
crop of home grown Bender seed is very short which 
makes a price increase necessary. In order to supply 
a trade that uses a cheaper seed we have secured a 
supply from Colorado. The price on this western 
grown seed is: Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 
lb. $1.10. 
^DELICIOUS: 86 days. This may be described as 
an early Bender. It is a comparatively new variety. 
The melons average about five pounds. A little 
flatter than Bender and 10 days earlier. The quality 
is very good. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; ^4 lb. 65 
cts.; ib. $2.15. See back cover. 
HONEY ROCK : 95 days. Also known as Sugar Rock. 
A new melon, nearly round, averaging about 4 lbs. 
Skin grey-green covered with coarse netting, flesh 
thick, juicy, orange-salmon color, fine flavor. Good 
for home garden and nearby market. Pkt. 8 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; X lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.40. 
Giant Half Sugar Rose Mangels are excellent as winter feed for hens.
