PEEP ORE Toe eeae ss Breen fieshea Rocky Fords Were, ehipee 
from our home town. Our catalog has carried the continued story

~ The Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45 is without doubt capabl 
of carrying to distant markets and arriving in better venation 
than any other cantaloupe. In districts not Subject to Powdery 
Mildew, the Improved H. B. No. 36 and Six Three will be founda 
the most satisfactory crating sorts. For roadside market and bulk 
Burrell’s Jumbo H. B. Burrell’s Superfecto is excellent for late 
ae evegw ell erowh, leaves little to be desired tn the way ot 
quality. 
MELONS FOR LOCAL AND ROADSIDE MARKET

the most popular for Michigan. Those wishing large melons pre- 
fer Osage, Jumbo Burrell Gem, Original Jumbo H. B., Anne Arun- 
del, and melons of the Tip Top class which include Tip Top, Ben- 
der’s Surprise, and Milwaukee Market. Our Milwaukee Market 
is an exceptionally thick fleshed strain of this valuable variety. 
Cantaloupe and muskmelon are special items with us and we 
firmly believe that better Seed than we have of these is not 
obtainable. 
MARKET ONLY GOOD MELONS 
With all cantaloupes the customer develops an appetite and 
buys regularly if the melons are always good, but poor melons 
destroy the desire for melons and those who would be good .buy- 
ers, turn to peaches and other fruits instead. 
Don’t pick cantaloupes green. 
Don’t pick cantaloupes from rusted vines. 
Don’t pick cantaloupes from aphis covered vines. 
Don’t pick cantalounes from vines diseased with mildew. If 
cantaloupes are subject to mildew in your district, we suggest 
that you use the Powdery Mildew Resistant No. 45. 
Don’t pack melons you would not buy to eat yourself if you 
were the customer. 
Don’t buy cheap seed. Your crop costs about fifty dollars per 
acre, and often more, considering rental of land, before you begin 
to pick, and poor seed may cut the value of the crop in two and~ 
even more. Two to four dollars per acre for the best seeds is 
small compared with other costs. Buy the ‘best seed. 
“Plant seeds of Known origin.”
