3|cBENDER, Eastern grown. 95 days. We feel 
that this is the most satisfactory melon that we 
grow. Due to a difference of opinion as to what the 
ideal Bender should be, there are a great many differ¬ 
ent types now on the market. Some have bred for 
size and have sacrificed quality. Our ideal has been 
a melon averaging 7 to 8 lbs. heavily netted, thick 
sweet orange yellow meat, firm but free from stringi¬ 
ness. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; X 70 cts.; lb. 
$2.25. 
BENDER, Western grown seed. 95 days. In order to 
supply a trade that uses a cheaper seed we have se¬ 
cured a supply of seed of this variety from Colorado. 
The price on this western grown seed is: Pkt. 5 cts.; 
02 . 15 cts.; X lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.10. 
5k DELICIOUS: 86 days. This may be described as 
an early Bender. It is a comparatively new variety. 
The melons average about five pounds A little 
flatter than Bender and 10 days earlier. The quality 
is very good. Delicious is the melon we recommend 
for the home garden. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; X 
lb. 70 cts.; lb. $2.25. 
HONEY ROCK : 95 days. Also known as Sugar Rock. 
A new melon, nearly round, averaging about 4 lbs.

thick, juicy, orange-salmon color, fine flavor. Good

5 k HONEY CREAM WATERMELON : 82 days. When 
it first came to us from Japan, Honey Cream was 
rather badly mixed. We have been for four years 
breeding toward the elimination of these off type 
melons. We found no off type melons in our seed 
fields this past year. 
Honey Cream is a prolific early watermelon of 
excellent quality. The melons are large, nearly 
round, light green with darker green stripes. The 
flesh is a creamy yellow, firm, and of excellent qual¬ 
ity. The earliest high quality watermelon we have 
ever grown. We recommend Honey Cream for the 
home garden and roadside stand. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
25 cts.; X lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.25.

cious Honey Cream Watermelon.

that each year is becoming more popular. It has quality and yield.

fleshed, high quality watermelon. Very prolific.

MANGEL BEETS 
6 lbs. will sow 1 acre 
GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE: 90 days. One of the 
best recommendations that we can give this variety 
is that we sell twice as much seed as we do of the 
other three varieties put together. Desirable for 
stock and poultry feeding, affording not only a very 
large crop but also having higher nutritive value, 
being especially rich in sugar. The roots are rose 
colored above ground, white below, with white flesh. 
On account of growing partly out of the ground and 
the long ovoid shape the crop can be harvested easily 
and at less expense than any other root crop. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 8 cts.; )4lb. 15 cts.;lb. 40 cts.; 10 lbs. 
$3.80.

grow to a very large size of deep yellow color, not as 
long as Long Red. but larger around, and are smooth 
and handsome, having small tops and very few side 
roots. They grow over two-thirds above the ground, 
so can be harvested with little trouble. Pkt. 5 cts.;
