The “Henderson” 
Bush Musk Melon 
Short, Vigorous Vines. The Gem of the 
Small Garden. A Bush Jenny Lind 
Radically different from any existing kind. 
The bush character is attained by a shortening 
of the stem between the joints. There are just 
as many leaves on the plant as on other kinds, 
but these grow so compactly that the plant can 
be grown on one-half the space usually required. 
Notwithstanding its radical departure from 
existing types it is by no means a freak; its free¬ 
dom from variation has been constant over the 
entire time of our observance of it. 
The fruit is small, but fully equal in quality to 
the old and justly esteemed Jenny Lind, which 
is probably the best flavored of all green-fleshed 
sorts. They are produced in abundance, in fact 
we advise that each plant be allowed to ripen 
only about one-half of the fruit, as it is apt to 
bear too many. 
It delights in a rich, preferably sandy, well manured soil, and responds 
favorably to frequent applications of water during drought. (See en¬ 
graving.) Price, 25c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 60 c. 
“I think your Bush Musk Melons are great. I (yew them last summer, 
and although there was not a drop of rain for 52 days during the growing 
season, they matured some fine Melons, about 5 inches across , deliciously 
sweet-flavored.” 
GEORGE SI DA Y, Sylvania, Ga. 
“It may interest you to know that the Henderson Bush Musk Melon does 
excellently well in this part of the country. They proved superior to the Rocky 
Ford in my garden.”

COLE’S EARLY 
WATERMELON 
NORTH rivals SOUTH 
with COLE’S EARLY 
PRODUCES LUSCIOUS MELONS 
WHERE NONE GREW BEFORE 
SUREST IN CROP PRODUCTION 
QUALITY EQUAL TO THE BEST 
This is the easiest to grow of all the Watermelons. If you have 
failed with other sorts you can succeed with Cole’s Early. It is 
the best variety for the family garden, primarily so qn account of 
its extreme earliness, but mainly because it has all the qualities 
necessary to a perfect variety for this purpose. Its remarkably 
early character entirely removes the most common hindrance to 
its cultivation A As far north as Canada and in places where 
Watermelons never grew before, Cole’s Early is now supplying 
the tables of those who grow it, just as bountifully and with just 
as good Melons as in the sunny regions of the South. 
It is good in every respect, producing a liberal crop of Melons 
twelve inches long and nine inches in diameter, not large, but in 
abundance and of delicious quality. The deep red, fine grained 
flesh ripens from heart to rind, while its rich color and luscious 
flavor are tempting to the most exacting and critical taste. (See 
engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. l /i lb., $2.00 lb. 
“I planted a package of your Cole’s Early Watermelon seed last year and 
I raised about 15 of them. I got some big ones and the quality of all of them 
was fine. Everybody in town had a small piece.’’ 
MAX CLINTON SNOW, So. Royalston, Mass. 
“Cole’s Early Watermelons were of the best quality and also very productive ” 
V. M. BROWN, East Moravia, Fa. 
“I had excellent results from all your seeds, notably Cole’s Early Water¬ 
melon, which produced abundantly. They are the most delicious Melons I 
have ever eaten.” . 
E. II. BANGS, Jacksonville. 
“The Cole’s Early Watermelon seed from you produced the finest Melons 
ever raised in this section of the country.” 
PERC Y L. MILLER, Merriam, Kans. 
“ Your Cole’s Early Watermelon beat all other varieties around here by 
three weeks.” 
F. N. COLBERG, Cannon Falls, Minn.
