Muskmelons 
SKAGIT GOLDEN. This is the earliest musk- 
melon that we have ever seen and while 
muskmelons are not always satisfactory in 
Western Washington we believe that Skagit 
Golden will give good results here even in 
spite of the short growing season. If you have 
a warm early soil you will be delighted with 
this fine melon. The fiesh is medium thick, 
sweet and juicy and of a rich salmon orange 
color. 
PRICES—Package, 10c; oz., 25c. 
EMERALD GEM. One of the earliest of all 
muskmelons and therefore more nearly adapt¬ 
able to the short growing seasons of this lo¬ 
cality. The skin is smooth and of deep 
emerald green color. The flesh is thick and 
of a delicate salmon color. 
PRICES-Package, 5c; oz., 15c.

introduced into this country from Asia that 
is reported to be about 20 days earlier than

Peppers 
HARRIS’ EARLY 
GIANT. This is the 
largest and best of 
the early sorts. It 
is the best adapted 
for use in the 
Northwest that we 
know about. Seven 
to ten fine large 
fruits are usually 
produced on each 
plant. Best for 
home use.

LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE. This is the 
earliest pepper of the “bell” type. The fruits 
are larger and a little later than the Harris’ 
Early. The fruits are also more pungent and 
produced in greater abundance.

PIMENTO. This is a very mild, sweet variety of 
Pepper that is in great demand for salad mak¬ 
ing. It is easily canned for home use. The 
seed should be planted in a hotbed and the 
plants set out after the ground is warm.

Orach 
This vegetable is sometimes known as Scotch 
or German Greens. The plant will grow about 
five feet tall on moist soil. The leaves are large 
and thick and produced abundantly over a long¬ 
er period than ordinary spinach. The rows should 
be at least 18 inches apart and the plants 
thinned out to about 6 inches for best results. 
While the flavor is not exactly identical to 
spinach, many who have used Orach like it the 
better of the two. At least two plantings should 
be made a season. Orach will thrive on moist 
soil that is too acid or too poor for common 
spinach. It is worth trying in every garden. 
PRICES—Packet, 10c; oz., 30c. 
TILLINGHAST SEED is NOT sold in COMMISSION BOXES.
