MUSKMELONS-— Continued 
H anover (65 days). An extra early green-fleshed variety that some market 
* gardeners find to come in ahead of nearly every other sort. It is 
nearly round, somewhat flattened at the end, and has a coarse netting. The flesh, 
while sweet, is of only fair quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % Ib., 35c; Ib., $1.15, postpaid. 
(75 days). A popular melon and a good sort 
Rocky For d, or Netted Gem. for either home or market. The fruit is 
rather small, almost round, and the thick flesh is of fine grain and delicious flavor. 
In our judgment, however, it is not as good as the Delicious Gold Lined Rocky Ford. 
As is often the case with vegetables, the name means very little, and ‘“Netted Gems” 
are to be had which have little in common with our Thorobred strain. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; %4 Ib., 25c; Ib., 90c, postpaid. 
+! . (73 days). In our judgment the best green- 
Tait ° Thorobred Justrite. fleshed melon and is well nigh perfect, as the 
name implies, The size is ‘justrite,”” the shape ‘“‘justrite,” the deep ribs and 
rough netting “‘justrite,’’ and the luscious sweet green flesh is “justrite’” for those 
who like melons of supreme quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 45c; Ib., $1.50, postpaid. 
+! (72 days). Considered by many market gar- 
Tait $ Thorobred Jasper. deners the best melon of the well known 
Bottomly type. The melons are oval shaped, heavily netted, distinctly ribbed, and 
quite disease resistant. The green flesh is edged with orange, fine grained, and 
of a delicious spicy flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 35c; Ib., $1.25, postpaid.

(95 days). A Canadian introduction which is appar- 
Green Montr eal. ently best suited to that climate, although used in 
many other sections. The fruit grows large, round, somewhat flattened at the 
ends and covered with a dense netting, the quality of the flesh being first class.

all its own. PEt., 5c; oz., 10c; % I1b., 30c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 

Long John Muskmelon 
WATERMELONS 
One-half ounce will plant a row of 100 feet 
in hills; 2 to 3 Ibs., for an acre in hills. 
Culture: A rich but light and well-drained soil is needed to produce the best 
results. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep from April to June in hills not less than 8 feet 
apart each way. Avoid planting until the warm weather has become settled, as the 
vines will never thrive if checked by cold. After the first plowing, cultivation must 
be shallow and “laid by” as soon as the ground is well covered.

Sweet or Wonder, Stone Mountain, Owen’s Gray and Hawkesbury at 25c per
