There are some conveniences of the city 
that you do not have on the average farm, 
but one thing YOU CAN HAVE AND 
SHOULDHAVHE 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. 
333—HALE’S BEST No. 36: 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 main 
planting Hale’s Best.

332—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 LOOK- 
ING and BEST QUALITY of any melon on the 
market. They are the most HEAVILY NETTED 
of any melons, round with a faint rib. The yellow 
flesh is thick, the seed cavity is small; a good ship- 
ping and market melon, and best of all THEY 
ARE GOOD TO EAT.

Postpaid. 
335—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. The Golden Ice Cream will outsell any 
melon on the market because of its fine appear- 
ance, 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. 
345—HEARTS OF GOLD: (See colored picture 
on Page 15). Hearts of Gold is mighty, mighty 
tasty clear to the rind. Gets its name from the 
golden yellow flesh. 
The melons are almost round, heavily netted. 
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.

337—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. The Milwaukee Mar- 
ket will stand more heat, draught, 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.

Postpaid. 
344—GARDEN LEMON—VINE PEACH OR 
MANGO MELON: The vine is similar to the 
muskmelon, 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 ex- 
cellent.
