BUIST’S SELECTED ROCKY FORD 
92 Days—This reliable variety continues to 
be our largest seller for home gardens. It is 
a splendid type of the green fleshed Rocky 
Ford possessing the same characteristics, but 
having a pronounced golden tint next to the 
small seed cavity. The flesh is very thick and 
' the flavor deliciously sweet and spicy. 
ROCKY FORD 
92 Days—The most widely known of all 
cantaloupes, reselected ffom the famous Net- 
ted Gem introduced from Pennsylvania to 
Colorado where it attained perfection in shape 
and netting. It became famous as a shipping 
variety and is now more generally known as 
the Rocky Ford. Very productive, uniform in 
size and shape. A favorite for home gardens, 
market and shipping. Fruits almost round, 
small, 5'47 to 6 ins. in diameter with no ribs 
and completely covered with hard, gray net- 
ting. Flesh green, thick, juicy, and of a 
sweet, spicy flavor.

garden melon considered one of the best and

fruits 4 ins. long, 3 ins. in diameter with 
heavy netting on the ribs, and a knob or but- 
ton on the blossom end.

heavily netted and distinctly ribbed. Flesh 
green and very sweet. 
POLLOCK 10-25 
93 Days—This variety is identical to Rocky 
Ford except the flesh is salmon tinted shading 
to green near the rind. Growers like it be- 
cause of its resistance to blight and rust, and 
its long distance shipping qualities. 
HONEY DEW 
112 Days—This fine melon is entirely distinct 
and has taken front rank at all produce stands 
where it is recognized, bought and served by

itude it must be started indoors or in frames 
and transplanted outdoors at the proper time.

cream when ripe. Flesh light green, thick,
