RICHiaOND, VIRGINIA 
CANTALOUPE OR MUSKMELON 
Colorado Grown—Plant in May and June 
CUETTTRE—Prepare hills, 4 to 6 feet apart, in a rich, moderately 
dry sandy soil, nsingf well-rotted manure. When frost is over, 
plant 10 to 12 seeds in each hill about one inch deep, and when 
well up, thin out, leavingr four strong^ plants to the hill. Pinch off 
the ends of the vines when about a foot long"; this will make them 
strong and bear more freely. Give frequent but shallow cultiva¬ 
tion till the vines cover the ground. Do not grow near cucumbers, 
squashes, etc. One ounce plants 50 hiUs; two pounds to the acre. 
Wood’s Perfection Cantaloupe 
No. 248. Wood’s Perfection Cantaloupe Days)—The 
most delicious 
of all orange fleshed cantaloupes; beautiful in appearance, but 
the deliciously sweet, spicy flavor of its flne-grained, thick, solid 
flesh is its outstanding characteristic. In these respects we have 
never offered a melon that is its equal. There is no trace of 
stringiness; the flesh is so thick that the seed cavity is unusually 
small; it is covered with a lace-like netting over the entire melon. 
We recommend it to everyone as a melon of surpassing quality 
and fine delicious flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 50c; lb. $1.50; 
2-lb. lots $1.35 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.20 per lb.; 10-lb. lots $1.10 
per lb., postpaid.

Hollybrook 
Iiuscious.

size, this is the king of 
all melons. Too 
large to be 
profitable for

home use; one 
melon is enough 
for a family.

equal to that of 
a Honey Dew 
melon. Contin¬ 
ues bearing till 
cold weather 
and holds its 
splendid quality

last. Pkt. lOc;
