Pride ofWisconsin Muskmelon 
Has Honey Rock Quality 
with Thicker Flesh 
246. PRIDE OF WISCONSIN. 
(90 days.) This new introduction we 
think will soon displace Honey Rock. It 
has all the desirable characteristics of 
that excellent variety with the added fea¬ 
ture of thick flesh which does not soften 
prematurely as it approaches maturity. 
Hence it will carry well in shipping. The 
attractive fruits weigh about 3 % pounds 
and measure about 6 %x 6 inches. The 
rind is very hard, of a pearly gray color, 
and faint rib, heavily covered with a dis¬ 
tinctive netting. It ripens to a yellowish 
shade. The pink flesh is unusually pink 
with good flavor. The triangular seed 
cavity is almost compact. Seed supply 
this year very short. Pkt., 15c; oz., 30c; 
i/ 4 lb., 60c; lb., $1.75, postpaid. 
New Purple Cauliflower Has 
Distinct Flavor 
95. NEW PURPLE. The head is 
of the same shape and size as the regular 
Cauliflower, but instead of being white 
it is green to begin with and upon reach¬ 
ing maturity and upon becoming exposed 
to light, it turns deep purple. The plants 
need not be tied up until the heads have 
turned color and then only to prevent the 
heads from bolting to seed. The color is 
lost during the cooking, regaining the 
green color. It does not have the true 
Cauliflower flavor, but a flavor similar 
to Sprouting Broccoli. A splendid novelty 
to grow in your garden. Pkt., 15c; Vi
