Schoon s Hard-Shell ' melon somewhat os the order of Bend-

tinct stripes or interstices. Skin is a beautiful yellow, flesh is medium 
in grain, red salmon in color, and the sweet, tasty flavor calls for 
more. Weight about 6 to 7 pounds.

From Augusta, Ga.—I did not lose any of your Honey Rock Cantaloupes in my 
field last year. All were good size and salable. Your Zinnias were good 
also. I sell at a cut-flower market and sold all I carried of them.

From Iuka, Kans.—We always have excellent results with all your seed. Bison 
Tomato best for dry hot Kansas climate. Couldn’t grow Cucumber without 
Aphicide No. 10.
