SchelVs ''Dee-Licious'' 
Cantaloupe 
Ready to pick in 85 days. This is our leading variety. 
It has proved a veritable little “gold mine” to some of 
our custorners who have been wise enough to grow 
acres of it in the past few years. When you sell it to 
your customers for the first time tell them it is Schell’s 
famous “Dee-Licious”—and they will be waiting 
anxiously for you to come back soon with more of those 
same good melons. Caution—be sure you do not take 
the melons of this or any other variety off the vines to 
sell or use until they are ripe. Many customers have 
been lost by growers too anxious to sell who 
do not wait or watch carefully to see that 
the melons are ripe when offering them 
for sale. A half-green melon is unfit 
to eat. Watch this. Schell’s “Dee- 
Licious” is just like the picture. 
Its flavor, as everybody 
says, is “simply dee-li> 
cious.” Rich, deep salmon 
flesh, sweet, luscious, juicy 
flavor. Be sure you figure 
to include this, the most 
popular Cantaloupe in 
Pennsylvania, in your gar¬ 
den whether large or small. 
One to ten acres of it will 
prove very profitable. And 
down go our prices. Pkt.
