CASABA MELONS 
Golden Beauty. A beautiful bright golden yellow, wrinkled 
skin. The fruits are globular shaped and mature very early.

juicy and “honey sweet.” Packet, 5c; ounce, 15e. 
ONIONS. There are two types of onions that are most 
commonly grown by home gardeners—the young green or 
bunching onions and the mature bulb or dry onion. Green, 
or bunching onions, may be produced from seed, sets or 
multiplier bulbs. The set method is generally used among — 
home gardeners for the earliest green onions. However, the 
seed method produces a much better quality of onion and is 
the common method among the market gardener trade. 
Onions require a rich, well drained soil, but any good 
garden soil will be satisfactory so long as it is not too stony. 
To be sure that the soil is rich enough, use a pound of well 
rotted manure to each square foot, and in addition use four 
or five pounds of commercial fertilizer to each 100 square 
feet. 
The soil must be moist, as the plants will not thrive in dry 
sites. Onions are grown successfully in nearly all but the 
desert states, but they thrive best in the comparatively cool 
sites. 
Packet, 10c; 4% ounce, 40c; ounce, 75c.

BLACK-SEEDED ICE CREAM MELON 
MELONS. The term melon, as commonly 
used, includes the fruits of two distinct types, 
namely the Muskmelon or Cantaloupe and the 
Watermelon. Both of these types require hot 
weather during the day and warm evenings in 
order to fully ripen the fruit. We do not recom- 
mend growing melons in the Western section 
of the Northwest, however, there are certain 
types that do fairly well in this section. 
Melons thrive on a well-drained fertile soil; 
for early crops a light, sandy loam is preferred. 
Excessive alkali should be avoided. Manures 
or fertilizers are not generally used in the 
principal producing regions, the fertility being 
maintained by rotation and the use of green 
manure crops. However, where this is not 
available, it is advisable to use a good com- 
mercial fertilizer in a mild manner. 
‘ 
In growing melons it is necessary to allow a 
great deal of room for spreading vines. The 
seed may be planted as soon as the ground is 
warm and weather conditions permit. The hills 
should be approximately 6 feet apart. 
WATERMELONS 
All Watermelons—Packet, 5c; ounce, 15c. 
Klondike. Rind is a beautiful dark green and 
exceptionally thin. The interior of the melon is 
a distinctive flesh color. Grow uniform in shape 
and size and ship very well.

ductive. Fruits are large, oval, heavily mottled, 
dark and bright green, rind thin, flesh bright 
red, firm, sweet and tender. 
PLANT A VICTORY GARDEN 
Kleckley’s Sweet or Monte Cristo. Distinctly 
a home garden melon as the dark bluish-green 
rind is so crisp that it breaks easily. The long, 
oval fruits are slightly larger near the blossom 
end. They weigh from 25 to 30 pounds and 
ripen in a little over one hundred days. For 
home gardeners we highly recommend this 
variety. 
Black-Seeded Ice Cream. The melon is 
almost round, with a thin rind of medium 
green. The inside flesh is pink and exception- 
ally sweet and fine flavored. This variety ma- 
tures early and is a fine keeper.

take their names. Matures in about 85 days 
from sowing seed, in ordinary weather condi- 
tions. The flesh is deep and thick, a beautiful 
orange color, with a sugary delicious flavor that 
is unexcelled. 
Hearts of Gold. The rind is firm and densely 
netted. Rich, fine-grained, orange colored flesh 
is excellent in flavor. The seed cavity is small 
and in all the melon is a very fine shipper.

sweet and tasty with a salmon-orange tint.
