HONEY CREAM WATERMELON 
Flesh Creamy Yellow—Easy to Grow

melons are large, nearly round and light green with dark 
green stripes. One of the earliest high quality melons for 
the home garden and roadside stand. Honey Cream is

THE PENNHEART TOMATO 
Extra Early — Red Globe 
This variety was developed by Dr. Charles Myers of the 
Pennsylvania State College. It is like Penn State, but ac- 
cording to opinions, it is superior to that variety in regard 
to yield, coloring, freedom from blemishes, and is slightly 
larger. It is not necessary to prune or stake but should 
be planted from 2 to 4 to 3 to 4 feet. Its chief value lies 
in the fact that it is early maturing. We advise plenty of 
plant food for best results. Be sure to give Pennheart a 
trial in 1944. Pkt., 15c; 12 oz., 50c; 0z., 95c.
