270%, KLONDIKE. (90 days.) (Dark 
Seeded Strain No 3.) We consider Klondike the 
best medium season melon and the very sweet- 
est of all melons. The thin rind is dark green, 
shape long; very symmetrical; flesh distinct 
shade of red. Seeds small. It is very sweet, 
crisp and tender, and is a heavy yielder. The 
heart is very large. If quality and flavor are 
wanted, this is the melon to plant. Pkt., 5c;

269. WILT RESISTANT KLONDIKE 
NO. 7. (90 days.) This is the first strain of 
Klondike Watermelon to be released that shows 
a high resistance to wilt. All the desirable char- 
acteristics and quality of the old Klondike have 
been retained with the added feature of being 
wilt resistant. The seeds are mostly black inter- 
mingled with lighter shades. -Klondike, in our 
estimation, .is the best and sweetest of all 
melons. The thin rind is dark green, shape long, 
very symmetrical. Flesh distinct shade of deep 
red. Seeds small, Pkt., 5c; oz., 15¢; .%4 Ib,

Our watermelon seed is the best for planting 
in the North. Each packet contains seed enough 
for 8 to 12 hills. Four or five pounds will plant 
an acre. Do not plant too early and plant in 
sandy soil if you have it. Sage Hi-Caps will 
produce earlier melons and protect your plants 
from cut-worms. See page 54. It pays well to 
use fertilizer for melons. 
CULTURE: Plant. in hills 8 to 10 feet apart 
each way. When the danger of insects is over 
thin to 3 strong plants to a hill. Use Slug Shot 
to kill insects. See page 73. For larger amounts 
of seed, see Market Gardeners’ List, opposite 
page 5.

shape. The flesh is rich scarlet, very sweet, with 
few seeds. Seeds white. A prolific melon but 
not recommended for shipping long distances.
