Popone MUSKMELON Melon 
Delicious — The earliest large melon grown. This popular 
improvement on the Bender’s ripens one week to ten days earlier 
and grows nearly as large. It is really delicious and sells readily 
on the roadside stand. Our strain is from hand cut melons, 
and is the equal of any on the market. 
Bender’s Surprise — Northern grown and carefully selected. 
Attractive appearance, fine flavor, large size and long keeping 
qualities, make this wonderful variety the most desirable on the 
whole melon list. Our strain is, of course, one of the finest 
on the market and there is no need to pay more. 
Sugar or Honey Rack — Sweet and delicious. These round 
melons with their light gray net-work are packed with deep- 
orange delicious flesh and are hard as a rock even when fully

and very sweet flavored and is a deep salmon in color. 
MUSKMELONS thrive on rich, warm, sandy loam

apart after all danger of frost is passed. Thin to about 
3 Bipldats in the hill.

OKRA 
Perkins Mammoth — Large green pods. 
White Velvet — Round light green pods.

Ognon ONION Cipollo 
Early Yellow Globe — The finest extra early yellow. Extra 
early, truly enormous crops of fine globe-shaped, bright straw 
colored bulbs make this Onion the most popular variety intro- 
duced in recent years. Their thick skin does not shuck off in 
handling and keeps very well in storage. We handle only the 
originator’s stock. 
Riverside Sweet Spanish — These large, handsome, yellow 
Onions are not at all difficult to grow provided they are started 
early and well repay the extra time required. The bulbs often 
weigh a pound or more and have excellent storage qualities 
and are always very sweet and mild. Every Onion grower 
should devote a portion of his acreage to this profitable variety. 
Wethersfield Red — The popular favorite. A very large, flat 
deep red. 
Southport Red Globe — A perfect globe shaped red and a splen- 
did keeper. 
Yellow Globe Danvers — We offer a highly perfected strain of 
this popular round type. 
Ebenezer — A fine mild, light yellow Onion with unexcelled keep- 
ing qualities. Very desirable for ‘‘set’? Onions. 
Southport Yellow Globe — Somewhat later than Globe Danvers, 
but of a more attractive globe shape and appearance.
