BUCHANAN’S CANTALOUPES 
CULTURE—Melons thrive best in light. rich soil. Plant just 
as soon as the ground is warm, in hills 4 to 6 feet apart, 
according to the variety; in each hill apply a shovelful of 
well-rotted manure, or a handful of commercial fertilizer, 
well mixed with the soil. Plant about 8 seeds to each hill, 
covering with about 1 inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. 
As plants develop cultivate well. Gradually thin out to two 
plants to the hill. When the vines begin to run freely, stop 
cultivation, except after a heavy rain. Melon vines are sub- 
ject to the same destructive insects and fungus foes as are 
cucumber and squash vines. See pages devoted to our 
assortment of insecticides. Use a packet to about 15 hills: 
1 ounce to 60 hills: 2 to 3 pounds to the acre. HOTKAPS 
wil] protect your early planting from cold or injury.

220—IMPERIAL No. 45 (80 days) —FORMERLY LISTED HALES BEST No. 4 
This medium size, slightly oblong. mildew resistant melon approaches perfection 
in its class. Its outstanding advantages are its very heavy cropping even in the 
hottest driest season and it almost never shows spoilage in the field even when 
quite ripe. It also may be vine-ripened and still shipped long distances because 
it remains firm and in good edible condition longer than almost any other cantaloupe. 
The seed cavity is small and tightly packed with seed. The salmon-orange flesh is 
firm but not tough or stringy, and has a sweet, luscious, melting and superb flavor.

shape, extremely thick-meated and have a very small seed 
cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey- 
like flavor, luscious and juicy, much more so than any 
variety of muskmelons.

DUTOX WILL CONTROL STRIPED AND SPOTTED CUCUMBER BEETLE AND PICKLE WORM 
ON CANTALOUPES 
Use from 2 to 6 pounds of Dutox per acre for dusting Cantaloupes. For control of striped and spotted beetles, 
dusting should be begun as soon as plants are up, and applied every 10 days as long as the insects continue to come. 
For control of the pickle worm, which bores into the cantaloupe, begin dusting when the first melons form and apply 
Dutox every 10 cays until most of the crop is harvested. In all cases dust the plant thoroughly and evenly, especially 
the under side of leaves, with Dutox. Light, frequent applications are generally more effective than heavy, infre- 
quent applications. * m Pes Peed te Bt oes | ?
