Ready to pick in 85 
days. This is our 
leading variety. It 
has proved a verit¬ 
able little “gold mine’’ 
to some of our customers 
who have been wise enough 
to grow acres of it in the past 
years. When you sell it to your 
customers for the first time tell them it 
is Schell’s famous “Dee-Licious”—and 
they will be waiting anxiously for you 
to come back soon with more of those 
same good melons. Caution—be sure 
you do not take the melons of this or 
any other variety off the vines to sell or use until they are ripe. Many customers have been lost by growers too anxious to sell 
who do not wait or watch carefully to see that the melons are ripe when offering them for sale. A half-green melon is unfit to eat. 
Watch this. Schell’s “Dee-Licious” is just like the picture. Its flavor, as everybody says, is “simply dee-licious.” Rich, deep 
salmon flesh. Be sure you figure to include this, the most popular Cantaloupe in Pennsylvania, in your garden whether large or 
small. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 2 ozs. 45 cts.; Vihb. 75 cts.; lb. $2; 3 lbs. (1 acre) $5.75; 15 lbs. (5 acres) $26.25.

Here is a Cantaloupe that is in the “quality” class. Many of 
our customers have been growing large quantities year after 
year and tell us it is one of their most profitable crops and 
always sells quickly as soon as ready to use. Our own strain of 
this variety is a very superior quality strain. Bender’s Sur¬ 
prise has a deep, richly flavored salmon flesh. The skin is 
greenish yellow when ripe. It 
is a heavy cropper and, as 
the illustration shows, it is 
a very attractive melon as 
well as one of excellent qual¬ 
ity. Ready in 94 days. Try 
a good-sized planting of this 
good melon. Pkt. 5 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; 
lb. $1.25; 3

As a crop for market, you will find it one of the most profit¬ 
able, for melons are easy to grow and easy to sell. This illus¬ 
tration shows the true oblong shape, the dark green rind, and 
the rich red flesh, which is so sweet and luscious. Ready in 
about 87 days from planting. Plant an acre this year—four 
pounds of seed will do it and cost but $4.25. Pkt. 5 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; *41b. 40 cts.; 
lb. $1.20; 4 lbs. $4.25.
