Klondike. 
270%. ★KLONDIKE. (80 days.) (Dark 
Seeded.) We have discarded the old stock of 
Klondike for the new dark seeded type. This is, 
we think, a better strain. We consider Klondike 
the best early melon and the very sweetest of all 
melons. The thin rind is dark green, shape long; 
very symmetrical; flesh distinct shade of red. Seeds 
small. It is very sweet, crisp and tender. Ripens 
very early and is a heavy yielder. If quality and 
flavor are wanted this is the melon to plant. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 35c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
267. ★ ICE CREAM or PEERLESS. (85 
days.) A well-known old favorite and a standard 
home melon. Extra early, of medium size, short 
oblong in form; rind thin, light green in color, mot¬ 
tled and veined with a darker shade; bright scarlet 
flesh, wonderfully sweet and delicious; seeds white. 
Highly regarded by thousands of home gardeners all 
over the North. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c;

prolific melon but not recommend¬

Our Watermelon seed is all northern grown. This seed is the best 
for planting in the north. Each packet contains seed enough for 
8 to 12 hills. Four or five pounds will plant an acre. Do not plant 
too early and plant in sandy soil if you have it. Sage Hi-Caps will 
produce earlier melons and protect your plants from cut-worms. See 
page 53. It pays well to use fertilizer for melons. 
Olds’ Sweetest and Earliest. 
264. ★ OLDS’ SWEETEST AND 
EARLIEST. (70 days.) This melon is the 
sweetest and earliest of all. The size is me¬ 
dium and does not exceed more than 15 
pounds in weight. Flesh scarlet, of extra fine¬ 
ness and sweetness and entirely free from 
stringiness. We do not recommend it for 
commercial planting, however, as it is most too 
small. For the home garden and where the 
season is short it cannot be beat. The rind 
is mottled with several shades of green. Seeds 
white. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; lb., 
80c, postpaid. 
275. CITRON. (95 days.) Colorado 
Preserving. Perfectly round, striped alter¬ 
nately dark and light green, not edible raw, 
but excellent for preserves. The flesh is white 
and hard and the vines very productive. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
263. FORDHOOK EARLY. (75 days.) 
An extremely early variety. Perhaps no other 
variety is so well adapted to the home garden, 
for it may be planted in hills as close as 6 
feet each way. Its value to the home garden¬ 
er in the North is, in fact, largely in its earli¬ 
ness. The melons are of good size and nearly 
round; the skin is dark green with occasional 
stripes of lighter green. The rind is thin; 
flesh, bright red, crisp, and remarkably sweet. 
Seeds white. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi Ik., 25c; 
lb., 75c, postpaid. 
262. ★COLE’S EARLY. (75 days.) One 
of the earliest of all melons and one of the best. 
It is medium in size, nearly round in shape, 
dark green in color, striped a lighter shade. 
The flesh is deep pink, rather a darker shade 
than _ some others, of excellent quality, firm and 
delicious. Seeds black. Nothing surer than this 
variety for hard situations in Northern latitudes. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
272. GOLDEN HONEY. 
(90 days.) The flesh is a beau¬ 
tiful glistening amber-yellow, very 
tender with a most delicious flavor.

large size, oblong shape and hand¬ 
some appearance. The skin is 
green with irregular stripes of 
darker green. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 
Vi lb., 30c; lb., 80c, postpaid. 
CULTURE: Plant in 
hills 8 to 10 feet apart 
each way. When the 
danger of insects is over 
thin to 3 strong plants to 
a hill. Use Slug Shot to 
kill insects. For larger 
amounts of seed see
