LETTUCE—Continued 
HEADING VARIETIES 
CULTURE FOR HEAR LETTUCE. If lettuce plants have 
been started indoors they should be transplanted as soon 
as they begin to crowd. Place them six to twelve inches 
apart in the row in extra rich soil and if the sun has 
become very hot, it will be best to furnish partial shade. 
Sterling 
The earliest of the heading varieties, fine for forcing, 
as well as for the home garden. A grand lettuce, very 
sweet, crisp and beautiful in appearance. 
May King* 
A large early compact heading variety, unequaled for 
early spring planting. The outer leaves are of a light 
yellowish green, tinged with reddish brown. The heart 
bleaches to a rich golden yellow, having a fine, rich 
buttery flavor. Heads average nearly a pound. 
Big Boston* (White Seeded) 
A cabbage butter heading variety forming a good sized 
solid head which is yellow and buttery, though crisp, 
and is of splendid quality. The outer leaves are bright 
green and edges are tinged with brown. 
Crisp as Ice 
A large solid head with outer leaves variegated brown 
and green. Has a delicious flavor and is the ideal lettuce 
for the home garden. 
Iceberg 
Heads are large and firm and well blanched. Color of 
leaves is light green with faint brown tracing on the 
border. A quick grower, heads always crisp and tender. 
Hanson Head 
An old reliable sure heading sort. Color clear light 
green. A fine variety for midsummer planting as it 
stands the hot weather better than most sorts. Much in 
demand by both the market and home gardener. 
New York* No. 12 
A very large, late popular heading variety. It roots 
deeply and therefore can resist the hot dry weather, 
making it very desirable for late planting. The color 
is a clear dark green, the heart blanching beautifully, 
being crisp, tender and delicious. 
New York 
Head 
Lettuee 
Salamander 
It forms large solid heads of thick, smooth, tender leaves 
of fine quality. It withstands hot weather remarkably 
well, and remains in head a long time before going to 
seed. Therefore, can be planted any time during the 
summer. One of the best outdoor heading varieties. 
MUSKMELON 
CULTURE. Muskmelons do best on moderately rich 
light, warm mellow loam. Do not plant until the ground 
has warmed thoroughly, as they will start quicker and 
withstand the attacks of insects so much better. 
Plant in hills 5 or 6 feet apart both ways. Mix in the 
hill before planting, one large cupful of Commercial Fer¬ 
tilizer. Plant 1 inch deep, 10 to 15 seeds to the hill. 
When plants are 3 inches high, thin to 4 or 5 in a hill, 
leaving the best plants. 
Gould’s Osage* 
A selected strain of Miller’s Cream or Osage. The fruit 
is nearly round and slightly ribbed-. The skin is dark 
green and partly netted. The flesh is of a deep salmon 
color, very thick and sweet. 
FERTILIZER FOR MUSKMELONS. 
Apply as a side-dressing at seeding time, at the rate of 
about 200 pounds to the acre, 0-15-9 fertilizer. 
Golden Osage* 
An improved strain of Osage melon combined with the 
Yellow Meated Japan. The flesh is of a fine golden yel¬ 
low, very thick meated and the flavor is delicious. The 
skin is of a light yellowish tint and partly netted. 
Bender’s Surprise* 
A very fine large, round, salmon-fleshed melon of excep¬ 
tional flavor. The skin is of a light yellowish color and 
fairly well netted, very attractive and a good shipper. 
Hale’s Best* 
A remarkably early shipping melon from the Imperial 
Valley of California. The melon is oval in shape, about 
6 inches long by 4^ inches in diameter with very heavy 
netting and distinct ribbing. The flesh is exceptionally 
thick and a deep salmon in color. It is very sweet and 
a good keeper. 
Oregon Delicious* 
This is perhaps the largest of the early Muskmelons. 
Is especially recommended for roadside markets and lo¬ 
cal fruit and vegetable stands. It is large, well netted 
and has a very delicious flavor. The skin is light green 
and the flesh a beautiful yellow. 
Sugar Rock* 
One of the newer varieties of melon of high quality and 
very fine flavor. The flesh is a rich salmon, the skin a 
greyish green color with heavy, coarse netting. The 
shape in almost round and very solid. 
Netted Rock 
A heavy meated cantaloupe of the Rocky Ford type. The 
flesh is green, tinged with salmon pink around the seed 
cavity. The flavor is sweet and delicious. 
Milwaukee Market* 
This is a fine melon which originated near Milwaukee. 
For a home garden melon or the roadside market it has 
no equal. Fruit of medium size, nearly round, lightly 
ribbed and fairly netted; skin light green, flesh thick, 
salmon colored and very sweet. Every home gardener 
who can grow melons should try this.
