MUSKMELONS — Continued 
Tait's Justrite Muskmelon 
Hanover. (66 days). An extra early green-fleshed variety that 
some market gardeners find to come in ahead of nearly every 
other sort. It is nearly round, somewhat flattened at the end, and 
has a coarse netting. The flesh, while sweet, is of only fair 
quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 35c; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
Rocky Ford, or Netted Gem. (75 days). A popular melon and 
a good sort for either home or market. The fruit is rather small, 
almost round, and the thick flesh is of fine grain and delicious 
flavor. In our judgment, however, it is not as good as the Deli¬ 
cious Gold Lined Rocky Ford. As is often the case with vege¬ 
tables, the name means very little, and “Netted Gems” are to be 
had which have little in common with our Thorobred strain. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; 1 lb., 90c, postpaid. 
Tail’s Thorobred Justrite. (73 days). In our judgment the 
best green-fleshed melon and is well nigh perfect, as the name 
implies. The size is “justrite,” the shape “justrite,” the deep 
ribs and rough netting “justrite,” and the luscious sweet green 
flesh is “just¬ 
rite” for those 
who like mel¬ 
ons of su¬ 
preme qual¬ 
ity. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; 14 
lb., 45c; lb., 
$1.50, post¬ 
paid. 
Green Montreal. (95 days). A Canadian introduction which is appar¬ 
ently best suited to that climate, although used in many other sections. 
The fruit grows large, round, somewhat flattened at the ends and cov- 
vered with a dense netting, the quality of the flesh being first class. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Ih., 30c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
Clark’s Special. (75 davs). A fine melon of the Bottomly type, with a 
rough, hard skin. Has a very thick, coarse netting, which gives it a 
most attractive appearance. The flesh is thick, fine-grained, and nearly 
always sweet. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^4 Ih., 35c; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 
Honey Dew. (95 days). This well known melon is of the Casaba type 
oval in shape, of good size, with a smooth, lemon-tinted skin, and keeps 
well. The thick, green-tinted cream flesh has a delicious sweetness all 
its own. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 35c; lb., $1.15, postpaid. 
Tait's Money Maker Muskmelon 
WATERMELONS 
One-half ounce will plant a row of 100 feet in hills; 
2 to 3 lbs. for an acre in hills. 
Culture: A rich but light and well-drained soil is 
needed to produce the best results. Plant the seeds 1 
inch deep from April to June in hills not less than 8 feet 
apart each way. Avoid planting until the warm weather 
has become settled, as the vines will never thrive if 
checked by cold. After the first plowing, cultivation must 
be shallow and “laid by’ as soon as the ground is well 
covered. 
Cut Red Tom Watson. (80 days). A decided improve- 
ment over the ordinary strain of Tom Watson, with a 
darker rind, and flesh of deeper red. In shape it is long, 
dark green, showing a distinctly fine vein under its 
general color. The luscious crimson flesh is very sweet, 
and of the best flavor. 30 to 40 pounds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 20c; lb., 75c, postpaid.

Tait’s Thorobred Gray Jacket. (80 days). This handsome long melon 
has a light green rind with dark green veining and is equally good for 
both the home garden or local market. It is of attractive appearance, and 
finds ready sale wherever offered. It will not stand long distance shipping, 
however, as the hind is rather thin for its size. The flesh is bright red, fine 
grained, sweet, and of delicious flavor. 30 to 50 pounds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
lb., 25c; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
Owen’s Grsy. Nearly identical with this variety is Tait’s Gray Jacket, and 
it is a good melon for either the local market or the home garden. 30 to 50 
pounds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; >4 lb., 25c; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
Halbert Honey. (75 days). It is a little smaller than the Kleckley Sweet 
—to which it bears a close resemblance—and is almost of equal qvmli^ 
and attractiveness, having a smooth, dark green rind and bright red flesh. 
25 to 35 pounds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; ^4 lb., 20c; lb., 75c, postpaid. 
Excel. (90 days). A long, dark green melon, indistinctly striped with 
exceedingly tough rind and free from core and hard centers. Excelmnt 
carrying and keeping qualities. The flesh is deep red and 
strain of this melon has white seeds. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; M lb., 20c; lb., 75c, 
postpaid.
