received Honorable Mention in the 1941 trials. It is a very 
early New York type, compact, medium in size and with 
small core. Wrapper leaves curve over the head without 
twisting. Although showing remarkable resistance to tipburn, 
its chief claim to wide favor seems to lie in its extreme

HALE’S BEST 
MUSKMELON 
CULTURE. Plant in hills 4 to 6 feet apart each way after 
danger of frost is past and ground is warm; enrich well with 
well-rotted manure and plant seeds just under the surface, put- 
ting ten or twelve seeds in a hill covering about an inch deep 
with fine soil firmly pressed down. When the plants begin to 
crowd and the striped beetles are pretty well gone, thin to four 
of the most vigorous plants in a hill. Give frequent but shallow 
cultivation until plants make runners too long for practical 
work, Rich earth is far preferable to manure, and if manure 
is used be sure it is well rotted and well mixed with the soil. 
Use NICOTINE DUST for melon aphis and for beetles, but with 
finely sifted ashes or road dust. See page 46. 
MONARCH PERFECTO. This variety is recognized as the high- 
est development in cantaloupe and is especially recommended 
for planting where melons are inclined to rust as it is more 
rust resistant than most sorts. Well grown, practically all 
these melons pack 12 to the Jumbo flat crate. The netting 
is well developed and closely laced covering the entire melon. 
The interstices between the netting are small and bright 
green when full ripe. The flesh, a rich orange salmon, is 
very deep and the color shows through the rind where the 
melon touches the ground a day or two before the melon 
will slip enabling the careful picker to pick accurately. The 
quality is unexcelled. The flesh is fine grained, very sweet 
and spicy. We offer No. 1, first cut seed only. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
15c; VY |b. 40c. Postpaid.
