SOMETHING NEW 
in the watermelon line. In the not very distant future a class 
of melons, quite different from the standard varieties, will 
occupy the front on the stage. This is what we predict. These 
new melons have the following on their good side: Extreme 
earliness, high quality and high sugar content, thin rind 
eliminating waste, right size. They average ten pounds in 
weight, ice box or refrigerator size. There is only one draw¬ 
back—the flesh of these melons is not the popular bright 
deep red. Their flesh is orange, pink, yellow and even white. 
Who does not remember the time when Golden Bantam Sweet 
Corn was received coldly because of its yellow color. But 
not for long. It will do no harm to grow this new class of 
melons for trial and, for trial only, till the time when their 
superior qualities will be better known and when it will be 
possible to market them in large quantities. At present we 
are offering only one variety in this new class under the name 
of KAHOW. Will offer more varieties in time to come. 
WATERMELON KAHOW mensely productive, 
fruits small, oblong, rind very thin, dark green, mottled with 
hlackish green, flesh salmon orange, very sweet. It is a qual¬ 
ity melon. Will stand no shipping. Will be in heavy demand 
as soon as its merits become known and will be an important 
sort to grow for local market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; lb. $3.00. 
WATERMELON DIXIE QUEEN (85 days) 
New. Pink fleshed melon, oblong in shape, rather large, 
vividly striped with light green, highly attractive. Quality very 
high. Seed white, quite small and the number of seed per 
melon is so small that it can be called “seedless” melon. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $8.00, prepaid. 
WATERMELON RED RUSSIAN (85 days) 
Other names: Kansas Sweet, Wichita Red Seeded, Early 
Kansas, Hutchinson Stripe. Large oblong early melon, dark 
green, handsomely striped light green. Rind medium thick, 
well suited for carrying reasonable distances. Flesh rich red, 
sweet and of delightful flavor. Weight per melon 40 lbs. Pkt. 
5c; oz. 10c; lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.50, prepaid. 
WATERMELON EARLY CANADA (75 days)

planting under ordinary growing conditions. A round melon, 
average weight 15 pounds, rind grayish green and thin, flesh 
bright red, sweet and of excellent flavor. Seed small dark 
brown. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; lb. 60c, prepaid. 
MUSTARD BAKTOY 
Different from other muetardi and of all “greens” the king. 
Resembles an Immense head of lettuce, but the leaves have very 
prominent midribs, exceedingly tender and Juicy. The hearts are 
most excellent to be eaten raw either as celery or with salad dressing 
as a aalafl proper. Boiled or stewed no other greens quite equal it 
in tentlerness and exquisite flavor. The whole plant is remarkably 
succulent, crisp and tender. All who have tried Baktoy are hearty 
in their praises of its flavor and high quality. Of (lulck growth, can 
be sowed in the spring, and again for a fall crop. Baktoy will stand 
nearly six weeks and ail this lime will remain in prime condition 
and shoots to seed only when the weather is quite dry and hot. 
Baktoy will be popular upon first trial and should appeal to growers 
who cater to a special trade where quality is appreciated. Pkt. 6c: 
OS. 10c; 1 lb. GOc; 10 lbs. $6.00.
