MUSK MELONS—Continued 
MARKET KING. New Medium Size Melon-Fine Quality. 
- Similar to Pride ol Wisconsin, Queen of 
Colorado, A & C and Jersey Gold. This new variety is an exceptionally 
good one where a medium size melon is wanted. The melons are creamy 
yellow with an extremely heavy net. They somewhat resemble Sugar 
Rock but are more oval and a little larger. The flesh is thick, deep 
orange, and of superior quality. 
The vines are extremely prolific, vigorous and healthy. The fruit 
ripens about a week later than Bender’s Surprise. We can strongly 
recommend this new variety.

" I have been growing melons of high quality for over 15 years and I believe I can judge 
melons. I can honestly say that melon (Market King) is the best 1 have ever tasted.

SUGAR ROCK or Honey Rock. This melon has become very popular 
in many sections, because of its earliness and superior quality. The 
melons are very attractive, medium in size, round, with a coarse heavy 
netting. The flesh is firm, thick, deep orange in color, very sweet and 
of delicious flavor. 
This is one of the best medium to small size kinds for the home 
garden, roadside stands and market and shipping.

excellent quality. Cultivation similar to watermelons. The fruit is

A Collection of Vegetables 
We have put up ready to mail, a collection of vegetable seed for the home 
garden, at a much reduced price. This collection contains seed of the finest 
varieties, and will give one an excellent variety of vegetables in the home 
garden. See page 7. 
Bottle Mushroom Spawn 
Directions for growing mushrooms will be sent with each order 
of Mushroom Spawn. 
Mushrooms can be raised in a cellar or any other place where the tem¬ 
perature can be kept between 50 and 60 degrees. The beds are made of 
horse manure mixed with fine soil. 
Bottle spawn is now so superior to the old style brick spawn that we 
have discontinued offering the bricks. Our spawn is produced under 
exact scientifically controlled conditions and will produce the finest 
white mushrooms. It is grown in sterile bottles which are removed and 
the spawn then packed in cartons. 
A single carton of bottle spawn will spawn 40 sq. ft. of bed. 
Bottle Spawn. Single Carton $1.25; 3 cartons $3.50 transportation 
paid. Write for prices on larger quantities. 
The best variety to grow depends upon the length of the season. In 
the north, where the summers are short, Hungarian Honey, Wonder 
Melon, Ford hook Early, and Stone Mountain are the most certain to ripen. 
See page 82 for strong Potted Watermelon Plants. 
WONDER MELON. This melon is the largest and best of 
- ’■ the oblong varieties which can be 
successfully raised here in the North. We can highly recommend this 
variety both for the home garden and roadside stand. 
The melons are oblong in shape with dark green skin and the flesh 
deep bright red and of very fine quality.

STONE MOUNTAIN. (Sometimes known as “Dixie Belle.”) Al¬ 
though this melon was first introduced in the South it is one of the 
best varieties for the North we know. It is among the earliest to ripen 
and is one of the surest kinds for raising here in the North. The melons 
are of large size, almost round with dark green skin. The flesh is deep 
red and of the highest quality. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
FORDHOOK EARLY. This extra early variety grows well in fairly cool 
climates and is, therefore, very desirable in the northern parts of the 
country where watermelons ordinarily will not ripen. It is almost as 
large as Stone Mountain, slightly oval, dark green and mottled with 
darker stripes. The flesh is bright red and of fairly good quality.

best early melons for home use. They are not large but ripen very early

an early watermelon of superior quality should plant this variety.
