WINTER MELONS 
HONEY DEW MELON (Green flesh) — 
Honey Dew is a new type of muskmelon, which 
grows uniform in size, about 6 inches in diam¬ 
eter from top to bottom, and 7 or 8 inches 
long. The color is a dull white when ripe, 
having no netting. The rind, though thin, is 
very tough and so close that the excellent flesh 
is practically sealed up where it keeps in fine 
condition for several weeks after they are 
ripe. The flesh is a rich green color, very 
sweet and possesses a delightful flavor. Ma¬ 
tures in 110 days. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY CASABA— Often called 
Winter Muskmelon. It is extensively grown 
throughout the Southwest for shipping to our 
Eastern markets, and sold at very high prices 
during the fall. Matures in 110 days. The 
melons are nearly globular in shape, bright 
yellow with golden tint and wrinkled skin. 
Measures 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Flesh is 
white, thick, and delicious. 
HONEY BALL — A cross between Honey 
Dew and Cannon Ball is a most delicious new 
variety. Is round and well netted with green¬ 
ish flesh and small seed cavity. While very 
sweet, it retains the spiciness of the canta¬ 
loupe. Bound to be a popular sort. 
WATERMELON 
CULTURE —To cultivate good water¬ 
melons, plant in hills about 6 feet apart 
each way, and incorporate well-rotted 
manure thoroughly with the soil. Plant 
8 to 10 seeds in a hill, when ground is 
dry and warm. When the plants are well 
up, thin out to 3 or 4 of the strongest 
plants in the hill. Sow 1 ounce to 25 
hills; 5 pounds to the acre. Our seed 
is much superior to the ordinary stock 
offered.
