There are some conveniences of the city 
that you do not have on the average farm, 
but one thing YOU CAN HAVE AND 
SHOULD HAVE is A PATCH OF MELONS. 
Enough melons for the family and for com¬ 
pany from early August until frost. No mat¬ 
ter how busy, you can always find time to EAT 
A GOOD MELON. To be sure of good melons 
PLANT GURNEY’S SEED and give them 
good care.

GO MELON: The vine is similar to the musk¬ 
melon, and requires the same cultivation. Fruit

pickles, pies, and preserves they are excellent.

GURNEY’S GOLDEN ICE CREAM: Here is 
the melon you want for sundaes. An ordinary

round. Heavily netted, a good shipper, cream 
color when ripe. The Golden Ice Cream will out¬

CULTURE: 
1 ounce for 50 hills, 2V£ pounds per acre. Musk- 
melons like a warm, rich soil. Plant in the open 
ground as soon as the weather is warm. Plant seed 
in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. After the 
danger of insects is over, thin to 3 plants to a hill. 
HEARTS OF GOLD: Hearts of Gold is mighty, 
mighty tasty clear to the rind. Gets its name from 
the golden yellow flesh, which is very sweet and 
fine flavored. 
The melons are almost round, heavily netted, 
ribs plain but not prominent. It is medium early, 
very productive, and one of the best shipping 
melons on the market. The flesh is thick, firm and 
solid—the kind you like.

low flesh makes it very attractive.

Dew quality, but is early enough to ripen except 
in the extreme North.
