209—GOLD LINED ROCKY FORD (92 days)—Our type of 
improved Rocky Ford is the finest gold lined strain and if 
you are growing for home use or nearby markets you will 
find this melon especially satisfactory. The flesh is thick and 
solid with a deep gold lining next to the seed cavity, shading 
to light green toward the rind. For sweetness and spiciness 
this popular variety is unexcelled. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 2 ozs., 25c; 14 Ib., 45c; 1% Ib., 70c; 1 Ib., $1.20; 
5 Ibs., $5.50. 

Buck Brand (Surprise) 
222—-BUCK BRAND (Surprise) (85 days)—The nearest thing 
to the old-fashioned muskmelon that you can get. Fruit 
slightly oblong, with a very thin, nearly smooth gray-green 
skin, distinctly ribbed; flesh thick and of deep salmon color. 
For flavor and size combined this is the king of all melons. 
Too large to be profitable except for local market—they often 
weigh 10 to 12 pounds—they are ideal for home use; one 
melon is enough for a family. Continues bearing till cold 
weather and holds its splendid quality up to the very last.

HYBRID SUGAR CORNS 
CULTURE—Same as other Garden Corn (see next page) except that it is 
planted 2 grains every 12 inches in fertile soil and thinned to 1 stalk per hill. 
The varieties we quote have been thoroughly tested in experiment 
stations and have proven beyond doubt that they are better adapted 
in the Mid-South than any other hybrid Sugar Corns. 
Hybrid Sugar Corns have proved bigger and more uniform 
yielders and of better quality than open pollinated types. The ears 
are better filled, of more even size and shape, and two good ears are 
usually borne to the stalk. In actual tests increased yields of from 
10 to 100 per cent have been secured. This is because of better root 
growth, sturdier stalks and greater disease resistance. If you have 
been disappointed in Sugar Corn yields in the past be sure to plant 
Hybrid this year. 
133—STOWELL’S EVERGREEN HYBRID (90 days)—Introduced in 
1930. Received All-American Special Mention for 1934. Highly val- 
uable to market gardeners, home gardens and canning. It makes 
an attractive ear of good size and fine quality; the grains are a 
lustrous pearly white, plump, juicy, sweet and tender. If you take 
pride in serving something that is really choice and that will attract 
immediate attention to its quality serve Stowell’s Hybrid Evergreen 
Corn. Stalk sturdy with close growing upright ears, 4 feet from 
ground; foliage medium green. Ears very slightly tapered, uniform, 
with 16 to 18 rows. Kernels medium wide and deep. 
Price—Pkt., 1% Ib., 15c; 14 Ib., 30c; 1 Ib., 50c; 2 Ibs., 90c; 5 Ibs., $2.00 
139—GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM HYBRID (85 days)—Introduced 
jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue 
University Agricultural Experiment Station. It is replacing other 
main crop yellow varieties. Stalk sturdy, with exceptionally broad, 
vigorous leaves. Ears 10 to 14 rowed, slightly lighter yellow than 
Golden Bantam. Kernels medium in width and depth. This hybrid 
is extremely uniform in plant and ear characteristics and in ma- 
turity. If you want a yellow corn with a larger ear, that is more 
productive, and if you want the best and sweetest for your table, 
plant Hybrid Golden Cross Bantam. Its color is a glistening pale 
gold and its flavor is unequaled. 
Price—Pkt., 14 lb., 15c; 1%4 Ib., 25c; 1 Ib., 40c; 2 Ibs., 70c; 5 Ibs., $1.45
