Muskmelon 
The general satisfaction that our Melon Seed gave last 
season again proves the superior quality of our Melon Seed. 
For years this seed has stood the test of the most critical 
planters in the United States until today we are leaders 
in this line.

BENDER (Bender’s Surprise). A very popular melon in 
eastern markets. Flesh is deep orange, thick, and deli- 
ciously flavored; rind is light green changing to golden 
tint when ripe, heavily ribbed and netted. Later than 
Trondequoit and more oblong in shape. The melons are 
uniformly large, often weighing from 8 to 10 pounds, 
with superior shipping and keeping qualities. 
EMERALD GEM. Old standard, smooth skin, salmon color 
flesh, very sweet, hardy, thrifty and prolific. 
HALE’S BEST. The earliest maturing of all large melons. 
Even in a season remarkable for its coolness the fruits 
matured to luscious sweetness in 68 days after planting. 
The melons are oval but inclined to produce some fruit 
of somewhat elongated shape. The popularity of Hale’s 
Best is due not only to its earliness but particularly to 
the sweet, tasty flavor of its beautiful salmon flesh. 
/ 
HEARTS OF GOLD. Flesh orange color; fine flavor. Ripens 
in 70 days. Exceedingly productive, flesh firm, thin hard 
rind, splendid shipper. Try this for home and market 
garden. Michigan growers get a higher price for it in 
eity markets than any other melon. 
HONEY ROCK (or Sugar Rock). <A wonderfully sweet 
melon with thick orange flesh and a distinctive flavor, 
suggesting the Honey Dew taste. It produces heavily 
and matures in 85 days. Oval fruits of medium size, not 
ribbed. An excellent home garden variety. 
LAKE CHAMPLAIN. (57 days.) A new variety which has 
proved out supreme in numerous widely separated tests 
for hardiness, earliness, productiveness and quality. The 
melon is medium sized, intricately netted, moderately 
ribbed; the flesh is deep, very sweet and melting, of a 
beautiful golden yellow color. The plants are very vig- 
orous and bushy, ripening perfect fruits even under 
adverse conditions, far in advance of all competing 
varieties. 
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 LOOKING and BEST QUALITY of any melon 
on the market. They are the most HEAVILY NETTED 
of any melon, round with a faint rib. The yellow flesh 
is thick, the seed cavity is small; a good shipping and 
market melon, and best of all THEY ARE GOOD TO EAT. 
TIP TOP. Medium size, 
nearly covered with 
excellent market sort.

After trials of about 20 kinds we selected the following: 
COLE’S EARLY. Best home variety and for nearby market; early and 
hardy, very sweet, red, rind slightly striped. 
EARLY CANADA. This new melon is earlier than any of our American 
melons, and we recommend this for planting as far north as melons have 
ever been grown. Weighs from 10 to 15 pounds. Light green skin. The 
vivid scarlet flesh is very firm. One of the best quality melons we have 
ever raised at Yankton. We had ripe melons in 73 days from the time 
the seed was planted. 
HALBERT’S HONEY. Another good home variety, with a dark green skin 
and crimson flesh, extra flavor, rather oblong. Once tried it will always 
find a place in the garden. 
KLECKLEY SWEET. A big melon, rank grower and simply covers the 
ground with fruit of fine market quality. It does well in northern cli- 
mate, and cannot be beaten for medium crop. 
TOM WATSON. Though this variety matures early, it is the largest 
melon; 18 to 20 inches long and 10 to 12 inches thick, and has a record 
of weighing from 40 to 50 pounds. A tough rind, making it a good ship- 
per. Its quality is as good as any melon grown. There is no mistake 
in growing ‘‘Tom Watson.”
