KING AND QUEEN watermelon is worth growing, very much 
so, because of high quality and heavily productive, the melons 
in a patch literally cover the ground almost touching one an¬ 
other. Although rather of small size they possess quality 
which is contrary to the rule but a fact nevertheless. With 
other melons the rule is that unless the melon is big in size 
it lacks sweetness and flavor. KING AND QUEEN in this re¬ 
spect is in a class by itself, it is always good. Owing to its 
tremendous yielding qualities will show the grower good 
profit even when the melons are marketed at rather low 
prices. Try a few, induce your customers to try your small 
melons. All that will try, will come back for more. 
HALE’S BEST No. 45 (96 days) 
Marketed under the trade name of “Sweet Eatin.” Almost 
100% mildew resistant, has quality, size, appearance, noth¬ 
ing any better and picked on a full slip and shipped across 
the whole country, arrives in perfect condition. Flesh sal¬ 
mon color, firm and sweet. Seed cavity small and holds firm 
days after the melon has been picked. 
In fact the melons are of better eating quality after they 
have been picked for a few days. The shape is oval, size 
medium, the netting heavy. An ideal melon for shipping, 
rapidly becoming a leader in every section wherever Hale’s 
Best is grown. Observe that No. 45 is 10 days later in ma¬ 
turity than No. 36. 
Flesh deep colored, of exceptional thickness, seed cavity 
is almost as small as that of Perfection. Average weight 4

Dew. Perfectly round covered with heavy netting, flesh very 
thick, swet, fine flavored and when fully ripe is of very high 
quality. But it is a bit too late for many sections, requiring 
fully 95 days to reach edible stage. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 90c;

lected hand cut melons from unusually pure and true stocks 
to begin with. Our fields are rigidly rogued for freedom from 
diseases and purity of strain. Our seed costs no more than

HA YE YOU university education? If you have and if you 
had 100 university educations, you would not be really edu¬ 
cated unless you understood MONEY. A newspaper man re¬ 
garded by many as an extremely smart man, writing for a 
chain of newspapers, repeatedly states in his newspaper col¬ 
umn that nobody understands money. Well! If nobody under¬ 
stood money, the fix the world would find itself in would be 
the same as when people could not understand each other in 
every day conversation. It is EXTREMELY important to 
understand money. You will understand money, you also will 
understand WHY the depression Is on, why so many are near 
starvation, in short you will get wise and you will know a 
great deal more than you may know now, if you will read 
“The Book”, which we will mail to you for only 25 cents.
