WATERMELONS 

KLONDIKE, UNIVERSITY STRAIN 
KLONDIKE (University Strain) 
80-85 days. This excellent new strain was devel- 
oped at the University Farm at Davis, California. It 
is the most outstanding strain of this popular melon 
for by careful breeding and selection the desired 
qualities of uniformity in size, shape, color and 
quality have been stabilized. The fruits are medium 
sized, oblong, and solid dark green. The flesh is 
bright red, crisp, tender and excellent in eating 
quality. The seeds are small, few in number and 
uniformly dark colored throughout. Due to the uni- 
formity in size, shape and strength of the rind, this 
variety is one of the best for shipping, and is also 
unequaled for the home and market garden. Pkt. 
10c, 1 oz. 25c, Y4 Ib. 75c, 1 Ib. $2.50. 
ANGELINO

KLONDIKE, Coopers Strain 
90-95 days. This melon has become a great favor- 
ite. It is about the same size and shape as the 
regular Klondike, but the skin is light green mot- 
tled dark green stripes from end to end. The flesh 
is similar also, but lacks somewhat the superior 
quality found in the University strain. It takes well 
in some markets, and should not be confused with 
Georgia Rattlesnake, which is a distinctly separate 
variety. Coopers Strain is a splendid home and 
market garden variety. Pkt. 10c, 1 oz. 25c, V4 Ib. 
75c, 1 Ib. $2.50.

WHAT AND HOW TO PLANT 
In selecting vegetables to plant include the ones 
your family should eat as well as the kinds they 
like. A well balanced diet is most important and 
should include green vegetables, yellow vegetables, 
leafy vegetables, root vegetables, and tomatoes. 
Leafy or green vegetables for crisp salads. These are 
rich in vitamins and minerals. 
Root vegetables, beets, carrots, turnips and onions, 
all rich in health-giving vitamins. 
Vine vegetables—peas, beans, cucumbers, on the 
fence or trellis. The heavy-fruited types, like vine 
squash, and pumpkin, should be grown on the 
ground as always, among the corn to save space. 
SPRAY AND DUST FOR PESTS 
Insects and diseases may infest the vegetable gar- 
den but may never become a serious problem if 
one watches for evidence of damage and takes 
prompt action. Sprays and dusts are available in 
convenient packages to combat every garden pest. 
When spraying cover all parts of the plant and 
both sides of the leaves. Do a thorough job promptly 
and avoid a serious infestation.
