MUSKMELONS— Continued 
(75 days). A popular melon 
Rocky Ford, or Netted Gem. and a good sort for either 
home or market. The fruit is rather small, almost round, and the 
thick flesh is of fine grain and delicious flavor. In our judgment, 
however, it is not as good as the Delicious Gold Lined Rocky Ford. 
As is often the case with vegetables, the name means very little, 
and ‘“Netted Gems” are to be had which have little in,common with 
our Thorobred strain. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % Ib., 50c; lb., $1.75, 
postpaid.

Tait’s Thorobred Justrite. fleshed melon and is well nigh

luscious sweet green flesh is ‘‘justrite’’ for those who like melons 
of supreme quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 14 1b., 85c; lb., $2.75, postpaid.

class. Pkt., 10; 0z., 20c; 14 lb., 60c; 1b., $2.00, postpaid.

WATERMELONS 
One-half ounce will plant a row of 100 feet 
in hills; 2 to 3 lbs., for an acre in hills. 
Culture: A rich but light and well-drained soil is needed to produce 
the best results. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep from April to June in 
hills not less than 8 feet apart each way. Avoid planting until the 
warm weather has become settled, as the vines will never thrive if 
checked by cold. After the first plowing, cultivation must be shallow 
and “laid by’’ as soon as the ground is well covered. 
NOTE: We can supply certified seed of Dixie Queen, Improved 
Kleckley Sweet or Wonder, Stone Mountain, Owen’s Gray and 
Hawkesbury at 50c per lb. above the price of uncertified seed.
