ixotKy rora, or I'Heiieo vjem. ^ g^j.^ 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, how¬ 
ever, it is not as good as the Delicious Gold Lined Rocky Ford. As is 
often the case with vegetables, 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; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
(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 “justrite” fgr those who like melons of 
supreme quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; ^ lb., 45c; lb., $1.50, postpaid.

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 plant¬ 
ing 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. 
(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; 
lb., 20c; lb., 75c, postpaid.

has a light green rind with dark

flesh is bright red, fine-grained, sweet, and of delicious flavor. 30 to 50 pounds.
