There are some conveniences of the city 
that you do not have on the average farm, 
but one thing YOU CAN HAVE AND 
SHOULDHAVE is A PATCH OF MELONS. 
Enough melons for the family and for com- 
pany from early August until frost. No mat- 
ter how busy, you can always find time to EAT 
A GOOD MELON. To be sure of good melons 
PLANT GURNEY’S SEED and give them 
good care. 
HALE’S BEST No. 36: (See Colored Picture on 
inside front cover.) All of you market gardeners 
Harken! Here is the melon for you—it is a money 
maker. It is just the right size to serve halved. 
Of wonderful quality, the salmon colored flesh is 
very thick, and the seed cavity is small. 
Hale’s Best is very early, heavily netted, and 
a good shipper. Trainloads go from California and 
Arizona to the Eastern markets. Make your maint 
planting Hale’s Best.

PRIDE OF WISCONSIN: I wish I had room for 
a picture of this melon, and I wish you could all 
have been in Yankton when the Pride of Wisconsin 
was ripe. Every one who saw and sampled them 
said they were the FINEST LOOKING and 
BEST QUALITY of any melon on the market. 
They are the most HEAVILY NETTED of any 
melons I have ever raised; round with a faint rib. 
The yellow flesh is thick, the seed cavity is small; 
a good shipping and market melon, and best of all 
THEY ARE GOOD TO EAT.

GURNEY’S GOLDEN ICE CREAM: Here is 
the melon you want for sundaes. An ordinary 
dipper of ice cream just fills this melon because 
the cavity is so small. 
An early melon—it ripens in from 80 to 85 days. 
Fruits are 6 to 7 inches in diameter and almost 
round. Heavily netted,:a good shipper, cream 
color when ripe. The Golden Ice Cream will out- 
sell any melon on the market because of its fine 
appearance, thick yellow flesh, and delicious flavor.

CULTURE: 
1 ounce for 50 hills, 244 pounds per acre. Musk- 
melons like a warm, rich soil. Plant in the open 
ground as soon as the weather is warm. Plant seed 
in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way. After the 
danger of insects is over, thin to 3 plants to a hill. 
HEARTS OF GOLD: Hearts of Gold is mighty, 
mighty tasty clear to the rind. Gets its name from 
the golden yellow flesh, which is very sweet and 
fine flavored. 
The melons are almost round, heavily netted, 
ribs plain but not prominent. It is medium early, 
very productive, and one of the best shipping 
melons on the market. The flesh is thick, firm and 
solid—the kind you like.

MILWAUKEE MARKET: If you want the 
BIGGEST BEST FLAVORED EARLY MUSK- 
MELON for home use or the home market, plant 
Milwaukee Market. The melons often weigh over 
10 LBS. and the sweet spicy golden flesh is some- 
times 3 INCHES THICK. They are heavily net- 
ted, nearly round with prominent ribs. The Mil- 
waukee Market will stand more heat, drought, and 
lack of care than any other melon and still produce 
a good crop. It is nearly as early as Golden Cham- 
plain, and is a real quality melon as well as a large 
early one.

GARDEN LEMON—VINE PEACH OR MAN- 
GO MELON: The vine is similar to the musk- 
melon, and requires the same cultivation. Fruit 
about the size of a large peach, oval shaped, and 
bright orange color when ready for use. For sweet 
pickles, pies, and preserves they are excellent.

GOLDEN CHAMPLAIN: This is still the ear- 
liest melon in our trial gardens. It blossoms and 
sets fruit as soon as it starts to run, and you will 
find 10 or 12 melons bunched around the plant. 
The melons are netted, ribs are prominent, the 
flesh is thick and a beautiful golden yellow. The 
quality is good to extra good, and above all, it is 
early, maturing melons in about 72 days.
