Hill of Superfecto 
SUPERFECTO—85 Days. This variety is rec' 
ognised as the highest development in canta^ 
loupe and is especially recommended for plant' 
ing where melons are inclined to rust as it is 
more rust resistant than most sorts. The netting 
is well developed and closely laced covering the 
entire melon. The interstices between the net' 
ting are small and bright green changing to 
orange green when full ripe. The flesh a rich orange 
salmon, is very deep and the color shows through the 
rind where the melon touches the ground a day or 
two before the melon will slip, enabling the careful 
picker to pick accurately. The quality is unexcelled. 
The flesh is fine grained very sweet and spicy. Market 
growers now plant thousands of acres to our Super' 
fecto cantaloupes. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 4 oz. 45c; Ib. $1.50. 
HALE’S BEST— 85 Days. The earliest maturing of 
all large melons. The fruits mature to luscious sweet' 
ness in 68 days after planting. The melons are oval 
but inclined to produce some fruits of somewhat more 
elongated shape. The popularity of Hale’s Best is due 
to its earliness and to the sweet tasty flavor of its 
beautiful salmon flesh. Pkt 5c; oz. 15c; lb. 35c; Ib. 
$1.00; 5 Ib. $4.50. 
One ounce will plant about .50 hills; two to three 
pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—Melons thrive best in a light rich 
soil. Plant in May, when the ground has become 
warm and dry, hills 5 to 6 feet apart each way 
for muskmelons, 8 to 10 feet for watermelons. 
Previous to sowing the seed, mix a shovelful of 
well rotted manure in each hill, and plant in 
each, 12 to 15 seeds. After all danger of bugs is 
over, thin out to three or four plants per hill. 
A few hills for early use may be had by sowing 
on pieces of sod in a hotbed, and when warm 
enough transplant to open ground.
