GUI TURF same culture as applied to the 
v.^uliukc. Muskmelon is employed in growing 
Watermelons. Furrows of about 8 inches in 
depth are prepared and 6 to 8 seeds are 
planted about IVs inches deep every 10 feet in 
the furrow; furrows about 8 feet apart. Thi.<k 
plant assumes a more rapid growth than 
Muskmelon, consequently more frequent cul¬ 
tivation and care must be given while the 
plants are young. As the plants grow in the 
furrow, fill in the soil about them so as to 
establish roots well into the deeper soil and 
when the plants are securely established pluck 
out all but two of the most hardy and healthy 
ones. The furrows in which the plants are 
growing want to be filled gradually as the 
plants grow until level with the surface, and 
then in early cultivating throw the soil to¬ 
wards the plant forming a slight knoll or hill. 
KLONDIKE another monopolist as since its 
ixLL-iiNuiNc. iiitroduction it has grown in favor 
till it really well nigh monopolizes the Cali¬ 
fornia markets and is too, about the only 
variety now used by the shippers. 
We have selected this melon to a dark seeded 
strain which with the bright red flesh gives 
it a very attractive appearance when cut.

locality where there is no danger of crossing, 
and select our seed with great care.

seven days and weighs 25 pounds. Pkt. 10c;
