Gold-Lined Rocky Ford 
112 92 days. A splendid type of the 
green fleshed Rocky Ford, medium early 
in maturity but unexcelled for a main 
crop variety. This delicious, almost round 
melon is covered with a delicate lace-like 
netting and averages about 5 inches in 
length. The thick flesh is smooth¬ 
grained, rich green in color with a beauti¬ 
ful gold tint next to the small seed-cavity.

rust-resistant sort and yields heavily. Pkt.,

ly covered with netting and has no 
ribs. Seed-cavity extremely small. 
The flavor is pleasing. Medium in ma¬ 
turity. Very prolific and hardy; al¬ 
most insect- and sun-proof. It is very 
desirable for home use and 
near-by markets. Pkt. 5c;

Cantaloupe 
V IMPERIAL CANTALOUPE 
I 18 92 days. 1935 A.A.S. Award of Merit. An 
outstanding and unusual melon with a delightful 
flavor all its own. The peculiar golden color of its 
slightly netted skin gives one the impression of 
transparency, for one can almost see the rich 
orange interior flesh. The fine quality pleases the 
palate. It is of the Rocky Ford size. The seed is 
held tightly in a very small and compact cavity. 
In contrast to other varieties, the Imperial goes 
through a ripening process extending through 3 to 
4 days after being picked on a full slip. It’s a 
heavy yielder even in the hottest, dryest season 
and it almost never shows spoilage in the field, 
even when quite ripe. A splendid long distance 
shipper and a pleasant surprise awaits the 
home or market gardener who plants Reuter’s 
Imperial. Pkt. IOc; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 
lb. $1.25; 5 lbs. $5.50. Not prepaid: 10 
lbs. $10.00.
