I’m Headquarters for GOOD MUSKMELON Seed

rightly named. It is the sweetest melon I know of,

lino shipper. In fact, one of the finest all-round mel¬ 
ons. Price: 1’kt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 35c; 1 lb. 90c,

oz. 10c; V4 lh. 25c; 1 lb. 80c, postpaid. 
ABOUT MUSKMELONS 
I’m proud of my muskmelon seed. I don’t 
believe there is another seedsman in the 
country who has spent as much time fuss¬ 
ing- with the growers, inspecting crops and 
worrying about his melon seeds. Every va¬ 
riety is grown by a specialist in an isolated 
place where it doesn’t get a chance to mix 
with anything else. Plant them after the 
ground is warm. Figure about three dozen 
hills for one packet of seed or 100 hills 
from an ounce. Give them plenty of room, 
at least 6 to 8 feet, each way.
