Muskmelon 
One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds an acre 
Delicious. An early Bender’s Surprise. 
The deep orange-yellow flesh is firm and 
unusually sweet. The melons, averaging 
5 pounds, are oval, slightly ribbed, light 
green covered with fine netting. They 
mature two weeks before Bender’s Sur¬ 
prise, and just after Lake Champlain. 
Not a distant shipping melon but the 
largest real early fine variety. 
Hearts of Gold XXX. This de luxe strain 
is the result of a special selection for 
earliness, larger size, and better shipping 
qualities. Melon growers quickly recog¬ 
nized the worth of our Hearts of Gold 
XXX. The heavily netted oval melons, 
5% inches across, have a tough rind as thin as an orange peel. The very thick 
golden yellow flesh leaves a seed-cavity of only 1% inch diameter, and the deli¬ 
cious flavor is hard to beat. Resists drought and ships exceptionally well. We have 
eliminated the tendency of the original Hearts of Gold to split at the bottom end 
in wet weather. You will find our Hearts of Gold XXX a good paying crop. 
Honey Rock Muskmelon 
Ho.ney Rock (Sugar Rock). The deep orange flesh is the most luscious and sweetest 
of its type. Melons are oval-round, without ribs, about 5 by 6 inches, covered with 
heavy, coarse netting. They are light gray-green, turning to light golden when 
ripe. The hard shell stands distant shipping very well. The melons ripen early 
and the vines are extremely productive. 
Jersey Gold. Remarkable late variety—the kind the buyers literally come hunting 
for. The very sweet, clear salmon flesh is unusually deep and can be eaten right 
down to the jdrinch rind. Moderately netted, heavily corded, pale green, oval 
Melons, 7 by 6 inches, that weigh 4 to 5}/2 pounds. Best flavor of any. 
Hale’s Best No. 45, Mildew-resistant. One of the very best all-round early melons 
and unsurpassed for shipping. Resists powdery mildew. Oval melons are 6 by 5 
inches, with heavy net; the salmon flesh is very thick, with small seed-cavity.

One ounce sows 50 feet; 7 pounds an acre 
Mammoth Long Red. The light red root, 
18 inches long, 6 inches across, with a 
heavy shoulder, grows half above ground, 
pulls easily. The flesh is white, tinged rose. 
Mustard 
One oz., 100 ft.; drilled acre, 1 lb., broadcast, 2
