Michigan Grown 
DIXIE QUEEN 
Our Michigan grown seed of this melon, like all 
other varieties. Is better than Southern grown seed 
for planting either in the North or the South, for 
it produces EARLIER MELONS of the very best 
quality. 
Dixie Queen is a very prolific mid-season variety 
used extensively for shipping, and is rapidly gain¬ 
ing popularity for the home garden. Fruits are 
oval-round, light green with dark green stripes, of 
medium size but often growing to a larger size 
and weighing as high as 50 pounds. Rind is thin, 
but tough. The bright red flesh is crisp, sweet and 
practically free from fiber, and the few seeds are 
small and white. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 15c; % lb., 45c;

Disease-Treated Onion Seed 
Onions usually net the grow¬ 
er more money per acre’'than 
any other vegetable crop. If 
you are going to raise a crop 
that requires the labor and 
capital that Onions do, don’t 
waste your time cultivating 
anything but the best. The 
difference in price, if any, be¬ 
tween a good strain of care¬ 
fully grown seed and a poor 
strain, carelessly grown, is so 
small that you can only afford 
to plant the very best. There 
are many inferior strains of 
Onion seed being offered to 
the public at low prices which 
will produce Onions of all 
sorts and sizes instead of the 
uniform, marketable crop ob¬ 
tained by planting a carefully 
selected strain of seed. Each 
year a large and steadily in¬ 
creasing number of market 
gardeners buy our pure bred, 
disease-treated Onion seed, be¬ 
cause they realize that none 
is superior. 
One ounce of seed for 150 
feet of row; 4 to 6 lbs. per 
acre.

taker. Although of gigantic size, it has a small top,

stand shipping long distances. Riverside Sweet Spanish
