This is a cross between the Rocky Ford Cantaloupe and a South 
Sea Island Oasaba. It has retained all the best qualities of both 
and is better than either. The melon is nearly white, turning to 
lemon-yellow when ripening, and the average size is a little 
larger than that of a coconut. The flesh is light green, the 
juiciest and sweetest Muskmelon, and luscious in flavor. The 
rind is hard. It is good as soon as picked off the vine and will 
keep good for months if kept in a cool, dry place. It is, therefore 
a good shipper and a most splendid fruit to grow for the market. 
In the city markets, the Honey Dew sells at higher prices than 
any other melon. As a local melon, it advertises itself. The 
first one eaten creates a desire for more. Plant it in your home 
garden. It will afford you more pleasure than any other vege¬ 
table you have. Ripe fruits in 90 to 120 days, depending upon 
the season. Full-grown fruits that do not ripen on the vines 
before the fall frosts can be picked and will ripen in storage.

SUGAR ROCK 
The Million Dollar Melon 
A new melon which, for the last four years, has proved to be the 
most profitable market variety in the melon-growing districts of 
Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, and is sure to become a leader 
throughout both the Eastern and Western States. Sugar Rock 
will stand shipping and handling better than any other high- 
grade melon and, due to its striking appearance and superior 
flavor and quality, it is rapidly becoming a favorite, commanding 
the highest prices in city markets. It is one of the most produc¬ 
tive varieties grown. Five to seven perfect fruits, and often 
more, are produced on one vine. The rind is so tough and the 
flesh so firm that they can be allowed to ripen on the vine and 
then shipped long distances and arrive in perfect condition. It 
is not of the Rocky Ford type. It averages a little larger and is 
earlier, maturing its fruits in about 85 days. The fruits are slight¬ 
ly oval — nearly round—and are overlaid with a heavy gray 
netting. This heavy netting and tough rind is what makes 
them stand handling and shipping so well. Sugar Rock has deep 
orange flesh. It is wonderfully sweet and delicious. Pkt. 10c

Decidedly the earliest of the Rocky Ford typeof shipping melons, 
and a most popular and profitable sort. Melons average as 
large as any of this class and have a sweet, sugary salmon flesh.

BANANA MUSKMELON 
Surpasses all other melons in its delicious fragrance. The 
flesh (the melon being nearly solid) is of rich salmon, of the best 
quality, and very sweet and melting. It is very prolific. Grows 
from 18 to 36 inches in length, and looks almost like an over¬ 
grown banana. Pkt. 10c—3 Pkts. 25c 
TIP TOP 
A wonderfully fine melon and one of the most productive. Its 
appearance on the market is very attractive—sells on sight. 
The fruits are of large size, nearly round, evenly ribbed and 
moderately netted. Flesh rich, deep salmon, firm but not hard, 
and edible to the outside coating. The testimony of those who 
plant Tip Top is that every melon produced is a good one — 
sweet, spicy, juicy and of finest flavor. Ripe fruit in 90 days.

HEARTS OF GOLD 
Owing to its superior quality, Hearts of Gold has taken first place 
in nearly all localities where it has been introduced. It is a 
good shipper, and just the right size to be served in halves. 
Average weight 1J4 to 1 % lbs. Flesh deep orange, extremely 
thick, fine grained, of the best quality and very sweet and melt¬ 
ing. It is a money-maker for market gardeners and few, if any, 
are its equal for the home garden. It is a marvel of productive¬ 
ness. Ripe fruits in 75 days.

GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY 
The Garden Huckleberry produces from 
seed the first year. A new fruit that can¬ 
not be excelled for pies and preserves. 
Very prolific, yield¬ 
ing an immense crop 
of fruit. It is an annu¬ 
al and must be planted 
each year from seed. 
Grows and thrives in 
all climates and on all 
kinds of soil. The 
fruits grow larger than 
the common Huckle¬ 
berry or Blueberry. 
If cooked with apples, 
lemon, or anything 
sour, they make the 
finest jelly. You will be delighted and 
astonished with this easily grown, wonder¬ 
ful novelty.
