This new variety is an exceptionally good one where a medium size 
melon is wanted. The melons are creamy yellow with an extremely 
heavy net. They resemble Sugar Rock but are more oval and a little 
larger. The flesh is thick, deep orange, and of superior quality. 
The vines are extremely prolific, vigorous and healthy. The fruit 
ripens about a week later than Bender’s Surprise and about the same 
time as Sugar Rock.

A". 
It is much easier to raise melons than is usually sup¬ 
posed and they are so delicious that everyone who has 
a sunny garden should have some. All that is required 
is a good rich soil, that is not too heavy, and a warm, 
sunny situation. Our pamphlet, “Cultivation of Veg¬ 
etables” tells about raising muskmelons. 
It is Not Hard to Raise Melons 
A most attractive small melon. 
These miniature hothouses 
are used by large growers 
to protect their cucum¬ 
bers and melons from 
wind, hail, frost and in¬ 
sects. They can also be 
used to excellent advantage in the home garden. The cost is very 
low. See page 88 for full details and prices. 
Bender’s Surprise and Delicious Make a Fine Combination 
for Home and Commercial Gardens! 
“This last season I was fortunate in my crop of Bender's and Delicious 
melons. I think they are the finest melons I have ever eaten. We ate melons 
from our small patch for 6 weeks. When frost came ive picked all left on 
the vines and stored them carefully. Though some had rotted spots 
toward the last of them, they kept remarkably well." 
Reginald L. Flanders, Gardiner, Me. Jan. 23, 1937. 
HEARTS OF GOLD. We have a true strain of this melon which is 
popular in many sections. The melons are almost perfectly round, 
thickly netted and very firm with thick flesh of deep orange color. 
The flesh is sweet and of excellent flavor. The melons grow to medium 
size and the vines are vigorous, free from blight and very productive. 
An excellent melon for shipping as it “holds up” well.
