MELONS—Continued 
FOR ALL KINDS OF MELONS 
FOR APHIS—First keep the vines hardy by deep planting and 
proper cultivation, irrigation and fertilizing. Then if the aphis ap¬ 
pears, spray with Acme Aphis Spray or Lethane 440. 
FOR MELON BLIGHT that is caused by a fungus at the root, 
spray the hill freely with Bordeaux so that the liquid will follow the 
stem several inches beneath the surface. This should be done as a 
precaution rather than as a remedy. 
FOR MILDEW—Mildew probably destroys more melons than any 
other disease and is very difficult to eradicate once it attacks the 
vines. We recommend Fungusol Emulsion at 1 quart to 40 gallons 
of water for an effective dean-up. It also controls aphis and thrip. 
(See page 84.) 
Honey Dew 
Honev Devr ^ ays ' ^ great ^ avorite because of its excellent 
c 7 cw flavor. The melon is ready when the green luster 
has changed to an attractive golden shade. Withstands heat as the 
fruits do not sunburn because of the color. Used extensively as a 
shipping melon. Melons are round, about 6 inches in diameter and 
smooth. Flesh is light green and very sweet. Suitable for storing in 
a cool place. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 20c) (14 lb. 45c) (lb. $1.35) postpaid.
