One ounce will plant 50 hills; 2 to 3 pounds an acre 
Schoon’s Hard Shell. An improved early 
Bender’s Surprise with large, slightly 
oblong, coarsely netted, distinctly ribbed 
melons weighing from 5 to 8 pounds. The 
flesh is bright salmon and of very fine 
flavor. The rind is tough and hard mak- 
ing It an excellent shipper. 
Hearts of Gold XXX. This de luxe strain 
Is the result of a special selection for 
earliness, larger size, and better shipping 
qualities. Melon growers quickly recog- 
nized the worth of our Hearts of Gold 
XXX. The heavily netted oval melons, 
5%4 inches across, have a tough rind as thin as an orange peel. The very thick 
golden yellow flesh leaves a seed-cavity of only 134 inch diameter, and the deli- 
cious flavor is hard to beat. Resists drought and ships exceptionally well. 
Honey Rock (Sugar Rock). The deep orange flesh is the most luscious and sweetest 
of its type. Melons are oval-round, without ribs, about 5 by 6 inches, covered with 
heavy, coarse netting. They are light gray-green, turning to light golden when 
ripe. The hard shell stands distant shipping very well. The melons ripen early 
and the vines are extremely productive.
