Wasser-Melone (Ger.) WATERMELONS Cocomero d’acqua (it.) 
A packet of seed will plant about 8 hills; an ounce 25 to 30 hills; 2 to 3 pounds will plant an acre. 
The best variety to grow depends upon the length of the season. In 
the north, where the summers are short, Hungarian Honey, Wonder 
Melon, Fordhook Early, and Stone Mountain are the most certain to ripen. 
See page 82 for strong Potted Watermelon Plants. 
WONDER MELON. (New.) This melon is the largest and 
___ best ol the oblong varieties which can 
be successfully raised here in the North. We can highly recommend 
this variety both for the home garden and roadside stand. 
The melons are oblong in shape with dark green skin and the flesh 
deep bright red and of very fine quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
STONE MOUNTAIN. (Sometimes known as “Dixie Belle.”) Although 
this melon was first introduced in the South it is one of the best varieties 
for the North we know. During the past season in our trials it was 
among the earliest to ripen and is one of the surest kinds for raising 
here in the North. The melons are of large size, almost round with dark 
green skin. The flesh is deep red and of the highest quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 34 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. This extra early variety grows well in fairly cool 
climates and is, therefore, very desirable in the northern parts of the 
country where watermelons ordinarily will not ripen. It is almost as 
large as Stone Mountain, slightly oval, dark green and mottled with 
darker stripes. The flesh is bright red and of fairly good quality. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
Hungarian Honey. The sweetest watermelon. One of the very best 
early melons for home use. They are not large but ripen very early and 
are deliciously sweet, with firm, solid, deep red flesh, and small black 
seeds. The fruit is nearly round and dark green. Those who want an 
early watermelon of superior quality should plant this variety. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
WINTER QUEEN. These unusual melons have a white skin with deep 
red flesh of superb quality. They are round, of medium size, and if 
picked before frost will keep for several months. An excellent variety 
for the home garden, and for markets where they are known. Try 
these. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10.

LONG STANDING. A 1934 All American Selection. This new mus¬ 
tard is of the Southern curled type. It will stand three to four weeks 
longer than the old kinds without going to seed. This is a great ad¬ 
vantage both for the home garden and commercial growers.

FORDHOOK FANCY. Long Standing. This beautifully curled 
mustard is very handsome in appearance and of very mild, pleasant 
flavor. The leaves are curled and fringed, and this variety has been 
improved so that the plants will stand several weeks longer without 
running to seed than other kinds except the new Long Standing.

CITRON 
Colorado Preserving. Green Seeded. Used extensively for making 
preserves. The rind is thick and clear white, and makes preserves of 
excellent quality. Cultivation similar to watermelons. The fruit is 
round, striped and handsomely marbled. This variety has green seeds 
and is much larger and better than the red seeded citron. It will 
succeed and bear enormous crops in the North even in unfavorable 
seasons. We actually counted 175 fruits on ten hills this past summer.

Bottle Mushroom Spawn 
Directions for growing mushrooms will be sent with each order 
of Mushroom Spawn. 
Mushrooms can be raised in a cellar or any other place where the tem¬ 
perature can be kept between 50 and 60 degrees. The beds are made of 
horse manure mixed with fine soil. 
Bottle spawn is now so superior to the old style brick spawn that we 
have discontinued offering the bricks. Our spawn is produced under 
exact scientifically controlled conditions and will produce the finest 
white mushrooms. It is grown in sterile bottles which are removed and 
the spawn then packed in cartons. 
A single carton of bottle spawn will spawn 40 sq. ft. of bed. 
Bottle Spawn only. Single Carton $1.25; 3 cartons $3.50 transportation 
paid. Write for prices on larger quantities.
