LETTUCE 
Prices on all vegetable seeds postpaid unless otherwise marked. 
Culture. Lettuce to be at its best should be grown rapidly, 
hence the soil should be made as rich and friable as possible 
by liberal manuring and thorough preparation. For general 
crops sow outdoors as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked, in drills 18 inches apart and thin the young plants 
to four inches apart in the row. As the plants begin to crowd, 
thin them out and use as required. For the cabbage or head¬ 
ing varieties where large heads are desired, the plants should 
be thinned ten to twelve inches apart in the row. Varieties 
marked “A” are particularly adaped for early spring use, 
those marked “B” for summer culture or late fall planting.

MUSKMELON 
Culture. Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way after danger 
of frost is past and ground is warm; enrich well with well- 
rotted manure and plant seeds just under the surface, putting 
ten or twelve seeds in a hill covering about an inch deep with 
fine soil firmly pressed down. When the plants begin to crowd 
and the striped beetles are pretty well gone, thin to four of the 
most vigorous plants in a hill. Give frequent but shallow 
cultivation until plants make runners too long for practical 
work. Rich earth is far preferable to manure, and if manure 
is used be sure it is well rotted and well mixed with the soil. 
Use NICO-DUST for melon aphis and for beetles, but with 
finely sifted ashes or road dust. See page 38. 
Monarch Perfecto. This variety is recognized as the highest 
development in cantaloupe and is especially recommended 
for planting where melons are inclined to rust as it is more 
rust resistant than most sorts. Well grown, practically all 
these melons pack 12 to the Jumbo flat crate. The netting 
is well developed and closely laced covering the entire 
melon. The interstices between the netting are small and 
bright 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
